The first phase of will deliver 429 Build to Rent Homes for operator Get Living. Constructed by leading contractor JJ Rhatigan & Company, the initial phase will also deliver 23,000 sq ft of ground floor retail, as well as car parking and extensive new public realm on a prominent 3.5-acre site in Maidenhead town centre.
Designed by award-winning architect Studio Egret West, the mixed-use masterplan also incorporates 104,000 sq ft of office space and another 15,000 sq ft of ground floor retail and leisure space, to be constructed in two further phases. A new Garden Square including soft landscaping, trees and seating areas will create a green destination in the heart of the town.
The Landing site is also adjacent to Maidenhead station, where Elizabeth Line trains will arrive in 2022, and will provide a link between the refurbished station and the town centre.
Damien Sharkey, Managing Director HUB, said: "This is a landmark moment for HUB, and the development we will now deliver is particularly important for Maidenhead, being on a pivotal site for the town and based on designs developed through extremely close consultation with the local community, as well as strong collaboration and support from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. Working alongside Get Living strengthens the development even further, by bringing one of the most experienced and exciting BTR operators in the UK to Maidenhead. We are very excited to have started construction on this fantastic new place that will bring beautifully-designed, well-connected homes, employment opportunities and community facilities to the town centre."
Construction of phase one of The Landing is expected to complete in Q4 2024.
