Plans submitted for £6bn West London neighbourhood

The Earls Court Development Company has submitted proposals for a 7.5 million sq ft masterplan to transform a development site in central London.

The site where the Earls Court Exhibition Centres once stood will be redeveloped into a 106 billion West London neighbourhood, featuring 4,000 homes. The homes will be surrounded by 20 acres of new public parks and green spaces, with 2.5 million sq ft of workspace and cultural hubs included in those plans.

The site was acquired by developer, Delancey four years ago and has just submitted plans, with the first phase of construction expected to commence in 2026.

The initial phase will feature the first commercial spaces and approximately 1,500 new homes, offering a mix of rental units, market sale properties, student accommodations, and homes for later living, all centered around Table Park, the focal point of the development.

A prominent 45-storey residential tower, which will help establish Earls Court as a distinctive part of London’s skyline, is also part of this first phase.

Rob Heasman, Chief Executive of Earls Court Development Company, said: “We understand our responsibility to deliver much-needed homes and employment opportunities for London, and nearly half the site will be devoted to green and open public space.”

Jamie Ritblat, Founder and Chairman of Delancey, said: “Our focus has been on delivering value— environmentally, emotionally, and economically—while keeping the future in mind. Though we can’t predict the 22nd century, we have aimed to build with longevity, crafting streets and places that will become part of London’s fabric.

“It is unique for a development of this scale and importance to put spaces first, and buildings second. Despite economic challenges, we are proud of the result and grateful for the support of our partners. We believe this project is a beacon of hope for the capital’s future as a leading global city.”
