A £100m-plus residential-led scheme in west London has been given the all-clear by Ealing council.
Manhattan Properties’ plans for Manhattan Business Park in Westgate Triangle, W5, will see former industrial and office space redeveloped as 326 flats across five buildings ranging from seven to 13 storeys. The homes will range from one to three bedrooms, of which 36% will be affordable.
The scheme, called Manhattan Place, will also include 1,650 sq ft of restaurant and café space, 44,000 sq ft of light industrial space and 27,000 sq ft of offices. The Manhattan Business Park scheme will also include 89 car-parking spaces and 642 cycle spaces.
The site comprises eight industrial units and 10 flats, which will be demolished. The current warehouse occupiers are Halfords, Wickes, McDonalds, Big Yellow Self Storage, Fullers and River Island.
The developer said the fall in demand for offices, combined with rising house prices and permitted development rights, has weakened its role as an office location. It acquired the site in 2020.
The Squire and Partners-designed scheme is expected to complete in 2025.
