FIFTH STATE CROYDON
Working alongside our partner Wittington Investments, planning consent has been granted for our community focused, mixed-use co-living development on the doorstep of East Croydon Station.
Our proposals will transform a vacant building into:
498 co-living homes, with an extensive range of shared amenities
84 on site affordable homes
593 sqm of community & commercial space
Fifth State Croydon, situated on the doorstep of East Croydon station, will provide much-needed, sustainable, convenient and accessible rental accommodation for the local and wider London workforce, as well as traditional affordable homes. The ground floor has been thoughtfully designed to foster community connections, a portion of the commercial space on the ground floor is envisaged as a flexible/ exhibition space and will be be occupied by local community organisations. Our proposals include a range of on-site and off-site public realm enhancements, including tree planting, installation of new paving and closure to the unsightly subways the north and west of the site, to provide a welcoming and attractive environment for the proposed development. We will work hand in hand with the council and local stakeholders to bring this exciting development to life, creating a mixed and inclusive neighbourhood.
