A masterplan has been launched for a mixed-use development, including 2.65 million sq ft of commercial space, more than 2,000 new homes, shops and leisure amenities.
The area will be perhaps the best connected part of the 海角视频, with an estimated 21,000 passengers a day expected to use the HS2 station in 2026.
The vision for the site is being driven by the Arden Cross Consortium, a group of four landowners.
Ben Gray, from the Arden Cross Consortium, said: “Arden Cross is a destination at the heart of a global network of road, rail and air connections placing over 35 million people in the 海角视频 within a two hour travel time.
“While we are still in the early stages of the development process, it is hugely exciting for us to be able to unveil the vision for this site and how it can support the 海角视频 Central vision for the continued economic prosperity of the region and 海角视频 as a whole.”
