Brent celebrates more homes in Kilburn

South Kilburn has marked a major milestone with the completion of 123 new homes at Peel, a mixed-use development that combines housing with healthcare, workspace and a new public square.

The final phase takes the total number of homes delivered on the scheme to 328, including seven family-sized, wheelchair-accessible homes for social rent, 30 Shared Ownership homes and 86 homes for private sale.

Countryside, in partnership with Home Group and Brent Council, developed Peel as part of the wider South Kilburn regeneration programme. Construction began in December 2019 and has been delivered in stages, bringing both new housing and community facilities to the area.

Brent’s cabinet member for regeneration and planning, Cllr Matt Kelcher, said the development is about more than housing, describing it as a neighbourhood where people can live, work and come together. That aim is reflected in the scheme’s wider offer, which includes the new Kilburn Park Medical Centre, affordable workspace for local businesses and Peel Plaza, a public square at the centre of the development.

The medical centre provides a purpose-built healthcare hub for local residents, while the workspace units are already supporting small businesses serving the community. Peel Plaza has also become a focal point for community life, hosting events and seasonal celebrations that bring residents together through food, music, shopping and family activities.

The completion of the final housing phase represents another important step in the ongoing transformation of South Kilburn, supporting Brent Council’s award-winning regeneration programme and contributing to improved homes, public spaces and local facilities across the neighbourhood.
