The development of new homes in Church End reached a milestone on Thursday, 20 February. The construction of the highest point of this latest development was celebrated with a ‘topping out’ ceremony.
In partnership with Wates Residential, Brent Council is delivering 99 new council homes and a vibrant new market square in Church End. The £30m regeneration project also includes new commercial units, which will create opportunities for local businesses and jobs.
Construction has now reached a major milestone, marking a step closer to delivering much-needed family-sized, affordable homes. The project forms a key part of the wider regeneration of Church Road, transforming what was once a car park into a thriving community hub.
The event was attended by Councillor Mili Patel, Deputy Leader of Brent Council, Councillor Teo Benea, Cabinet Member for Planning, Regeneration and Property, and local councillors representing the Roundward ward: Councillor Fleur Donnelly-Jackson, Cabinet Member for Housing & Resident Support, Councillor Elliot Chappell, and Councillor Jake Rubin.
Councillor Teo Benea, cabinet member for regeneration, planning and property, said: “It’s fantastic to see this project taking shape now and to be celebrating such a significant milestone in its construction. We are a step closer to delivering much-needed family-sized, affordable homes in Church End and look forward to welcoming families into the area soon.”
Paul Nicholls, regional managing director for London, Wates Residential, said:
“At Wates, we’re committed to creating places where communities can thrive, and reaching this milestone is a major step towards that vision for Church End.
“This project is about more than just new homes—it’s about bringing fresh energy to the area with a vibrant market square, new business opportunities, and spaces where people can connect.
“We’re proud to see this transformation taking shape and to be part of something that will leave a lasting positive impact.
The homes are set to be completed by February 2026.
By 2041, the Church End Growth Area will deliver at least 1,300 new homes, including affordable family-sized homes and specialist accommodation for older people, located alongside new and refurbished industrial premises. There will be further opportunities for employment, skills, and training for local people, a revitalised town centre, new community and cultural spaces, new open spaces, alongside food-growing areas and access to nature.
