Developer Landsec has got the planning green light to redevelop 1970s-built Lewisham shopping centre in south London into a new town centre district around an urban meadow.<\/p>\n

The \u00a31.7bn masterplan will deliver over 1,700 new homes alongside 660 student rooms, 445 co-living beds and a reimagined retail offer matching today\u2019s floor space.<\/p>\n

Demolition of the current shopping centre and the construction of the new one will start in 2026 to be delivered in phases over around 10 years.<\/p>\n

Approved by Lewisham Council last night, the project will also bring back the much-loved Model Market in a permanent new home, and add a 500-capacity culture and music venue to reignite the borough\u2019s night-time economy.<\/p>\n

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

The new district will be built around eight-acres of green space and public realm, including an urban meadow above a central podium building connecting much of the wider scheme consisting of around 14 major building projects.<\/p>\n

Landsec\u2019s masterplan, designed by SEW, includes a detailed application for the first two residential buildings, designed by Mae Architects, Studio MULTI and Archio.<\/p>\n

Mike Hood, COO at Landsec, said: \u201cThis is an exciting moment for the future of Lewisham\u2019s town centre. These plans provide much-needed homes, community spaces and facilities that will enhance urban life for generations, while delivering sustainable returns that support our ambition for long-term growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
