Tide is developing another flagship project for London’s nascent co-living sector – this time adding a classic London pub to the enticing mix of facilities.
Tide is both the developer and the contractor for this exemplar co-living scheme, which follows our groundbreaking project at College Road in Croydon, the UK’s largest development in this emerging sector.
The Castle will follow the same template of blending intelligently designed studio apartments and exceptional shared amenities. Arranged across four dedicated floors of amenity, these will include lounge areas, private dining and co-working spaces, a library, a bespoke gym, cinema and games rooms. In total, the Castle will provide 462 homes and 1,500m² of communal space.
The development takes the form of a 32-storey building – which will act as a gateway to the cluster of surrounding developments and provide convenient access to North Acton Underground station. The scheme is due to be completed in just 18 months, including preparation works and the delivery of a two-level basement.
The design flexibility afforded by Vision’s volumetric system enables us to create bespoke and highly crafted schemes that respond to the neighbourhood context and character, time and time again. The Castle is particularly exciting in this respect, combining the delivery of innovative co-living with the rare opportunity to reimagine a classic London pub for the 21st century.
Regeneration is a key focus of the project. As well as bringing 462 new homes to this brownfield site, it will create a new home for The Castle pub, revitalising a social hub that dates to the 1930s but has remained vacant since 2020.
The pub will have an engaging street presence, with a sculptural elevation that pays homage to the historic architecture of London pubs. It will also include dedicated space for community uses.
