Work is set to begin on a new ten-storey mixed-use building located near Wembley Stadium after planning permission was granted by the London borough of Brent.

Thought to involve £230m of property development finance, the development will stretch over more than 600,000 sq ft and include a Hilton hotel plus facilities for business conferences, student accommodation, affordable housing areas as well as retail outlets.

Quintain Estates and Development is the company behind the project. Nick Shattock, Quintain’s deputy chief executive, said: “This takes us further forward in delivering a fusion of retail, entertainment and living at Wembley. A luxury hotel will play a vital part in serving arena and stadium visitors, as well as reinforcing Wembley’s conferencing credentials.”
