The Verdean, also know as Friary Park: A Peabody & Mount Anvil Joint Venture

Executive summary from entrant:

A Peabody and Mount Anvil joint venture is transforming a deprived area of Acton into an inclusive, sustainable and high-quality neighbourhood. An isolated 225-home estate hampered by outdated buildings and antisocial behaviour is being replaced by 1,345 modern homes. The JV has twice revised its proposals to not only enhance housing provision but also unlock further amenity and public realm improvements. These enhancements have been co-designed by the community thanks to the team’s comprehensive approach to resident engagement, supported by innovative collaborations with expert partners. Such a meticulous approach to master planning represents a new benchmark for future regeneration schemes.
