27 Jul Work to begin on second phase of £500m Television Centre development

Mitsui Fudosan and Stanhope have begun work on the second phase of the £500million redevelopment of BBC Television Centre in White City.

Phase 2 will feature 511 new homes, two new apartment blocks.

The new buildings will be distinctive and compliment the wider estate.

Construction has already started on 142 affordable homes for Peabody in two new buildings called Macfarlane Place at Television Centre. The work is being carried out by Kier and is expected to complete in early 2024.

Jonathan Trout, property and commercial director at Stanhope, said: “We are delighted to be working with Mitsui Fudosan as development manager for the delivery of a new residential 25-storey tower with 167 apartments and 180 apartments in a crescent block by 2026.

“The start of Phase 2 demonstrates the commitment of Stanhope and Mitsui Fudosan to the delivery of the much-needed new housing, including affordable, in Hammersmith & Fulham, and our long-term commitment to the area.”

Tomoo Nakamura, managing director at Mitsui Fudosan UK, added: “Having recently become the sole owner of Phase 2, we are delighted to be able to continue to collaborate with Stanhope as development manager for the delivery of almost 350 new apartments.”
