This is the first phase of development in Enfield Council’s £6bn, 25-year Meridian Water regeneration project, which will see a swathe of unloved post-industrial land transformed into a new neighbourhood.  Meridian One will be served and closely connected to Meridian Water station, and firmly rooted in the landscape character of the Lower Lea Valley.

Three-quarters of the development will be parks, bio-diverse gardens and forest-scale trees, plus play space and gardens that link to the surrounding green and blue network.

The other 25 per cent that is built on will blend into the landscape through multi-layered amenities including green courtyards, planted balconies and green landscaped roofs.

Station Square at the heart of the site forms the arrival space from adjacent Meridian Water station. A truly mixed-use space, this landscaped square will host  community events and will be lined by cafes, shops, workshops, co-working spaces, maker spaces and community services. A new square for London, buzzing with neighbourhood life 24/7.

We are also designing and delivering a Skills Academy on a site to the south of the main development, to teach local young people construction skills.

Optimising the density of the development has enabled us to provide 25 per cent more homes – 970 in total – 93 per cent dual aspect and half of them affordable. The first 300 homes are currently under construction.
