PROJECT SHOWCASE:
WEMBLEY PARK
Wembley Park is one of the UK’s largest urban regeneration
schemes. Situated in the cosmopolitan North West London borough
of Brent, it encompasses the iconic Wembley Stadium and SSE Arena
at its heart. The exciting development offers a vibrant hub where
people want to live, companies want to grow, and neighbourhoods
come alive.
HELLO WEMBLEY
The breath-taking £3bn renewal project is led by development
firm Quintain, which purchased the plot in 2002 and then achieved
outline planning consent for 8.8 million square feet of mixed-use
development. Following a successful key supplier agreement,
Reynaers has been named as a preferred supplier for window
systems across the Wembley Park site. Reynaers will assist on
the development of further projects following the triumph of
completed Emerald Gardens in 2016 and Alto in 2017.
Wembley Park will provide a total of 7,500 homes in addition to
the thriving London Designer Outlet, advanced office and retail
facilities, hotels and community spaces bustling with activity.
Mary Kelly-Mannion, Head of Procurement with Quintain comments:
“We look to engage with first class suppliers who can offer high
quality products which complement the development at Wembley
Park. In our selection of Reynaers as a Key Supplier we recognise
their strong history in the field of research and development. This
history, together with the range and quality of their products,
means that they are an ideal contributor from the early design
stages right through to provision of the window and door systems
on our projects.”
A short 12-minute journey into Central London and just 28 minutes
to Canary Wharf, the development is perfect for those wishing to
reduce their commute, young professionals looking for a vibrant
place to live, or families who wish to be surrounded by green
spaces and a wide range of facilities.
CROWD PLEASERS
Since construction began in 2006, Quintain’s approach was to
create a desirable district filled with amenities before populating
the area, creating a welcoming sense of community first and
foremost. London Designer Outlet has been ranked amongst the
top 10 outlets in Europe with annual footfall at 7.0 million. Visitors
to Wembley Park can also enjoy a nine-screen cinema, over 70
shops, restaurants, coffee spots and a children’s all-weather play
park.
Simon Cray, Consultant Project Manager at Reynaers, has been on
board with the Wembley Park project since the initial stages. He
says: ‘‘Seeing the project progress from pen to paper to the vibrant
community that is there today is incredibly rewarding. We have
seen this fantastic development grow before our eyes, almost in
unison with the fabrication of the buildings, and I think that is what
makes this project so special.’’
