Greystar submits plans for Croydon BTR

Greystar has submitted plans to create a new 783-home build-to-rent scheme in Croydon, south London.

One Lansdowne Road will comprise two buildings of 35 and 47 storeys, a new public green square, flexible workspace and a shop.

Designed by HTA Design, the new scheme brings to an end long-stalled plans to redevelop the site close to East Croydon train station.

The previous £500m plans by Guildhouse Rosepride had comprised two towers of 68 and 41 storeys, one residential, one commercial, linked by an 11-storey podium. Consent was granted in 2017,  but lapsed in 2021.

Dan Thompson, managing director of UK development at Greystar, said: “One Lansdowne is an incredibly important site for Croydon offering a great opportunity to deliver housing, new green space, and workspace. We have submitted these plans to unlock an underused site that has long been earmarked for development and, subject to planning being granted, we hope to commence construction on  in Q1 2024.”

Greystar bought the site last year.
