Wembley Park
Wembley Park is one of the UK’s largest
urban regeneration schemes. Situated
in London’s borough of Brent, the
development offers a vibrant hub for
people to live, companies to grow, and
neighbourhoods to come alive. 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.”
Hello Wembley Crowd pleasers
The £3bn renewal project is led by
development firm Quintain, which
purchased the plot in 2002. The
development will provide a total of
7,500 homes and a variety of amenities.
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 success of Emerald
Gardens in 2016 and Alto in 2017. 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. Visitors to Wembley Park
can enjoy a nine-screen cinema, over
70 shops, restaurants, coffee spots, a
children’s all-weather play park and the
London Designer Outlet.
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.
Simon Cray, Consultant Project
Manager at Reynaers, comments:
‘‘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.’’

The aesthetic of the Wembley Park
project has been designed to enhance
the skyline and allow residents to view
the sweeping boulevards that lend an
openness to the development.
Reynaers has utilised systems that
create a maximum presence of space
and natural light, resulting in seamless
integration between the indoor and
outdoor environments. Throughout the
project, making a feature of the iconic
Wembley Stadium, as well as facilitating
unrivalled views of across the site has
been a priority when considering the
glazing systems.
Cray continues: ‘‘We wanted to create
buildings which look just as striking
from the outside as they do inside.
Working closely with architects has
ensured that each building is unique,
diverse and innovative in appearance
and in functionality.
The systems used create a sense
of rhythm across the façade of
the buildings, in keeping with the
community feel, as well as building
identity across individual plots.’’
