Planning consent has been granted by Brent Council for a housing development in Wembley, north London by HUB and Bridges Ventures.
The plans involve the transforming a disused office block into twin residential towers containing 239 homes. The 21 and 26 storey towers will be the tallest in Wembley.
Steve Sanham, Development Director at HUB Residential, said: "We're delighted the council has supported our bid to regenerate the centre of Wembley. Councillors have recognised the value of well-considered design, while ensuring the local community benefits from a range of amenities. Above all, the capital needs more mid-market homes accessible to Londoners. HUB's mission has always been to cater for this silent majority and we're delighted that Wembley will join our stable of projects across the city.
"Our aim is help drive new investment into Wembley while also providing vital new housing that's within reach of people living in the local area. With a community centre, new public realm and a blend of rented and for sale housing, we see a genuine community emerging at Chesterfield House."
A mix of affordable housing will be created, with units for sale and apartments built specifically for rent sitting above a new community centre, extensive public realm, retail space and cycle storage.
A spokesperson for London Borough of Brent, said: "Wembley is our biggest growth area for which we have great ambitions. We are already seeing a large amount of development and investment around the stadium but this approval sets the scene and could be the catalyst for further growth and investment on the high street.
"We aim to make Wembley and Brent a better place to live, work and play, and I am pleased to see a development come forward, which will provide affordable housing, community space, retail uses and a new public square for local people to use as well as generate over £5million to go towards local community facilities.
"The buildings, although tall, are appropriate in this area given that it is one of our key growth areas."
