By GlobalData“Set against the backdrop of place-shaping work in the wider Harrow Road neighbourhood, 300 Harrow Road is an investment in our community. By delivering this new development, we are connecting our residents with the vibrancy and opportunity Westminster has to offer.”
300 Harrow Road is set to be delivered by Westminster Builds, the council’s wholly-owned company established to help deliver the council’s ambitious regeneration and development programme.
Willmott Dixon managing director in London and East Chris Tredget said: “We’re looking forward to getting started on site now that planning permission has been given.
“Everyone is proud of what a positive impact Dudley House had in providing much needed new homes for people in Westminster and the same team are now focused on doing exactly the same at 300 Harrow Road, which will further stimulate growth in the local economy and bring new jobs, especially during the construction phase when we’ll be buying local whenever we can.”
