Overview
City North is a major redevelopment of previously industrial land to create a vibrant new local centre integrated with a transport hub. We delivered 355 mixed tenure homes and 11,600 sqm Commercial floor space over four blocks of up to 23 storeys in height.
The core objective was to create a new focus and a new sense of place for Finsbury Park, acting as a catalyst for wider regeneration and assisting in improving the image of Finsbury Park.
The development creates a truly mixed-use district centre, with residential apartments, commercial space, significant public realm and a new London Underground entrance to Finsbury Park Station. All residential units are designed to the highest quality, regardless of tenure, with reception and concierge facilities provided. Commercial uses include retail; café; restaurant; health club; multiscreen cinema; offices and underground car park for residents.
We partnered with The Business Design Centre Group and Newlon Housing Trust to deliver City North and collaborated with the Finsbury Park community to help maximise the benefits of City North and mitigate adverse impacts wherever possible. This has included liaison with the Fonthill Traders Association and significant investment in local community initiatives. Detailed progress of this work can be seen here.
