Plans have gone in for a dramatic six-tower cluster on the Hendon Goods Yard site at Barnet in North London.<\/p>\n

The proposed mixed-use scheme will deliver 368 homes, a 243-bed hotel and a 246-bed student block on the former goods yard site.<\/p>\n

The challenging strip site for the residential project is just 13\u201326m wide and 900m long, sandwiched between the M1 and the Thameslink rail line, north of Hendon station.<\/p>\n

Designed by architect Arney Fender Katsalidis (AFK), the towers would rise from 19 to 29 storeys, linked at ground level by a two-storey podium with colonnades and glazed frontage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The design uses pigmented precast concrete with finishes that gradually lighten towards the top of the buildings. More than half of the homes and student rooms are designated affordable.<\/p>\n

According to buildability adviser Arup, the construction programme would stretch to almost nine years.<\/p>\n

Following demolition of a Toyota maintenance facility, two years of piling and excavation would be needed before podium works could start in late 2029.<\/p>\n

Tower building will be phased, with three under construction at any one time through to mid-2034.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each tower is expected to take around three years to complete, with the programme carefully staged to avoid disrupting Hendon station\u2019s daily operations.<\/p>\n

At its peak the site is expected to employ 400\u2013500 staff, with numbers fluctuating as phases progress.<\/p>\n

The project also includes 2,000 sq m of commercial and health space, landscaping, new parking, and reprovision of Network Rail facilities.<\/p>\n

BTP Group is acting as cost consultant on the vast scheme, with Heyne Tillet Steel acting as structural engineers and Introba as MEP consultant.<\/p>\n
