Croydon is already one of Europe’s largest commercial centres, but the completion of Ruskin Square, with up to 1,250,000 square feet of new, grade A office space, 625 contemporary new homes, retail, cafés and restaurants will take the area to a whole new level. You might want to travel from Ruskin Square to central London. You may need to head out to Gatwick Airport. Whichever way you’re going, just allow 20 minutes. That’s how connected Croydon is. We’re not in the centre of London – it’s even better than that. Close enough to do lunch. Distant enough to have our own identity, with a name adopted from one of Croydon’s most famous sons, the philanthropist and social thinker, John Ruskin. His view was that, “The measure of any great civilization is in its cities, and a measure of a city’s greatness is to be found in the quality of its public spaces, its parks and its squares”.

  • 7 Altyre Rd, Croydon, Cr9 5Aa Croydon Park Hotel Croydon Park Hotel
    7 ALTYRE RD, CROYDON, CR9 5AA CROYDON PARK HOTEL CROYDON PARK HOTEL EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Exceptional opportunity to purchase a prime freehold hotel in the centre of Croydon’s Commercial District. Substantial 137,000 sq. ft. full-service hotel with 211 guestrooms, car parking, food and beverage facilities, conferencing and event space and fitness and leisure facilities set on a1.54 acre site. The purpose-built Hotel opened in 1984 and was previously operated under an international hotel brand before operating independently until the hotel’s closure in 2020. Available with vacant possession, unencumbered by brand, franchise or management, providing optimal operational and development flexibility with substantial potential to increase value. Prime town centre location in the heart of Croydon in close proximity to East Croydon station, one of London’s busiest stations with 25 million passengers in 2019. Croydon has benefitted from significant recent investment and is set to benefit from further significant investment to regenerate the town centre. Croydon’s strategic position and excellent transport links make the town attractive to key corporate occupiers that have established Croydon as a premier business location in south London. Extensive asset management opportunities including: hotel repositioning; extension of the existing property; or redevelopment of the site to increase the massing and change of use (subject to obtaining the necessary planning and all other consents) to potentially superior alternative use values. The Hotel is situated in the Croydon Metropolitan Centre, the Croydon Opportunity Area and the ‘Edge Area’ for tall buildings, all of which are supportive in principle for additional massing on the site and for alternative uses, potentially unlocking more accretive development proposals.

This boundary embodies 4 main quadrants, as shown in Figure 1, which corresponds to key development areas: - Wellesley Road/Park Lane - Wandle Park - East Croydon - West Croydon West Croydon East Croydon Wandle Park Wellesley Road/ Park Lane Figure 1 Town centre quadrants as defined by the council These quadrants contain the majority of the earmarked developments to take place over the next 10 years in-line with the Urban Regeneration Vehicle and Croydon’s aspiration to be ‘London’s Third City’. For the final report, a total of 30 Energy Clusters have been established to provide spatial indication of the heating, cooling and electrical annual peak and energy demands in the town centre zone.

  • NLA London Tall Buildings Survey 2017 #Nlatallbuildings
    Annual Update NLA London Tall Buildings Survey 2017 #NLATallBuildings Produced in association with Powered by data from London Tall Buildings Survey Foreword Peter Murray, Chairman, New London Architecture Each year the NLA London Tall Buildings Survey has generated a healthy debate about the benefits, as well as the negative impacts, of tall buildings. It has given a voice to those that propose them as well as those that are more critical. At NLA we remain of the view that in a growing city, well designed tall buildings in the right place are appropriate, a view reiterated by the Mayor of London at his Question Time on March 23. This year’s data will assist the Mayor as he prepares his new London Plan, with drafts expected this autumn. We are encouraged that the Mayor is now actively pursuing the idea of a 3D computer model of London, something we have been pressing for since our first survey in 2014. Developers will be able to place virtual images of their buildings into the wider model so that planners, the public and the Mayor can fully understand their impact. All too often the debate takes place without a clear understanding of the individual and the cumulative impact of proposed tall buildings. The City of London has been using such a model for the past year to great effect. The French technology company Dassault Systems will launch the Virtual Singapore project later this year which will show what the future city will look like, as well as containing comprehensive data about the city’s management.
