The green light has been given by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead for the £250m regeneration of a key site in Maidenhead town centre.

The regeneration of the 3.3 acre 'Broadway' site in Maidenhead town centre is being brought forward by Ryger Maidenhead Ltd, through London & Aberdeen Group.

The scheme known as 'The Landing' will be just 100m from the future Crossrail station and will see over 600,000 sq ft (gross) of new offices, retail and homes delivered.

Doug Higgins, Managing Director at London & Aberdeen Group, said: "This is a major step forward for Maidenhead and our vision will help reinvigorate the town centre and capitalise on Maidenhead's status as a future Crossrail destination. The Landing will occupy a prime site between the station and high street, providing office accommodation suitable for major HQs, as well as homes and high-quality shops and restaurants."

The Landing will provide 260,000 sq ft (net) of Grade A office accommodation plus up to 225 new residential units of one, two and three bedrooms and 48,000 sq ft (net) of retail, set around an expansive central plaza.

Outline planning permission has been granted subject to the completion of a Section 106 agreement. Completion is expected by 2019.

Ryger Maidenhead Ltd is a joint venture between London & Aberdeen Group and investors and long-term associates, Smedvig of Norway.
