Brent Cross South
We are delighted to announce that Michael Grubb Studio has been appointed by Argent to provide a sitewide Lighting Masterplan for Brent Cross South (BXS).
Brent Cross South town centre will be a welcoming place which focuses on local needs and provides amenities for a diverse residential and business community. It will be connected to Brent Cross shopping centre by a new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the North Circular Road.
A new high street, in the centre of the development, will provide a mix of shops and restaurants in attractive new public spaces. It will be a place where people can enjoy spending time both during the week and at the weekend.
A cluster of new office buildings around the new Brent Cross West Thameslink station, as well as flexible small business spaces adjacent to the new High Street, will make BXS a great place to work or start a business.
The BXS site will deliver:
- 6,700 new homes with a mix of sale, rental and affordable homes.
- 3+ million square feet of new office space providing over 25,000 jobs.
- A new High Street, with local shops and restaurants.
- Improved transport connections, with the new Brent Cross West Thameslink station serving the area.
- Better walking and cycle routes.
- New bridges over the North Circular Road, Midland Main Line and Hendon Way.
- New squares and parks with inspiring places for children to play.
- New and improved community facilities.
Argent Related and Barnet Council have entered into a joint venture partnership, BXS LP, to deliver Brent Cross South. The Council is working with Hammerson and Aberdeen Standard Life to redevelop the Brent Cross Shopping Centre to the north.
