Tottenham Hotspur Reveals New Stadium

Construction News Image
Football club Tottenham Hotspur has revealed designs and plans for a development project which includes a new stadium.

The updated proposals for the Northumberland Development Project will be submitted to the London Borough of Haringey in the coming weeks.

The new stadium will have an increased capacity from 56,250 seats to 61,000, featuring the largest single tier stand in the UK increased to 17,000 seats.

The club also confirmed the new facility will also host NFL matches via a fully retractable pitch.

The design team working on the project comprises of:

• Populous in respect of the stadium design, the hotel and visitor attractions.

• Allies & Morrison for the new homes.

• Donald Insall Associates as heritage architects.

Further development proposals include:

A new terrace on the High Road to host 'The Tottenham Experience': A permanent Visitors Centre and Arrivals Hub including an interactive Museum to celebrate Club history and local heritage, a Cinema, the Club Megastore, Ticket Office and Café.

A permanent viable use for the Grade II listed Warmington House: Incorporated as part of The Tottenham Experience to house the new Museum, blending old architecture with new.

Improved crowd management arrangements along the High Road: With the removal of three buildings that currently create a pinch point along Tottenham High Road where the pavement is just two metres wide - resulting in people walking in the bus lane and the road - allowing instead for a much wider pavement to cope with large crowds.

Enhanced public open space: Comparable in area to Trafalgar Square, includes a multi-use games area, high quality landscaping, cafes, dedicated events and community programmes managed by the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, and the ability to walk uninterrupted all the way round the stadium.

A new 180 bedroom hotel with a dedicated training programme for the hospitality industry: Providing high quality accommodation in Tottenham and opening up new career opportunities for local people.  49 serviced apartments will occupy the upper floors.

A new building to host Extreme Sports: Bringing people to Tottenham on a daily basis with activities for all ages, including the tallest indoor climbing wall in the world.

A 'Sky Walk' development: An adrenaline-filled experience and attraction for all ages walking on top of the stadium with spectacular views across London.

579 new homes, including affordable housing: Up from 285 homes in the current permission, meeting a key need for more homes in London. Set out across four new residential buildings, every apartment will enjoy access to a private balcony in addition to communal gardens and child play areas.

A new community health centre: Serving existing and new residents to the area, improving access to GPs and health screening.

The scheduled date for opening is August 2018 for the 2018/2019 season.

The club's Chairman, Daniel Levy, said: "We are all excited to be taking the project to the next stage. Our commitment is to find the best solution for the Club, our supporters and our community. It will be our new home for many years to come and we want it to be exceptional in every aspect.

"At this stage and barring no major hiccups we are committed to staying on course for a 2018 opening and shall be working closely with Haringey Council to facilitate a timely process."

Basement works have already commenced and the tender process will move forward along with additional planning requirements running in parallel.

Phase One of the new stadium, Lilywhite House, is already complete.

The development includes Sainsbury's supermarket, which opened in November 2013 and the University Technical College of Tottenham, which opened in September 2014.

It is home to the club's new administration offices and the Stadium Project Office on the top floor.
