One Portal Way, Acton
The proposals are to redevelop the current employment site for the provision of much needed new homes, workspaces, shops, community space and public green spaces.
The site is strategically located between North v station and the Acton Elizabeth Line station, and within walking distance from the future HS2 hub in Old Oak, making it one of the best-connected areas in the UK. As a result, the area, which forms part of the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC), has undergone dramatic change over the past few years.
One Portal Way is the largest and most centrally located site in North Acton. However, the site is currently inaccessible to the public being surrounded by security features, railings, parking and vehicle access points associated with the site’s current tenant Currys plc (formerly Dixons Carphone). Therefore the site presents a significant opportunity to bring about real and much needed change to the public realm offer in North Acton. The proposed scheme maximises the site’s potential to knit together other developments, forming a new vibrant place with a 1.8-acre central public garden.
The scheme comprises 1,325 new homes including homes for rent and sale, 35% of which will be affordable. On top of this, the scheme includes mix of co-living, coworking space, studio space and purpose-built workspaces.
Iceni Projects led the design team on the project and coordinated the submission of the planning application on our client’s behalf.
