Leegate Centre
- Client: Galliard Homes
- Contacts: Andrew Long, Anil Pallan
This transformative project will deliver 562 new homes, including 36% affordable housing, ensuring a rich and vibrant mix of residents.
This regeneration will not only transform Leegate Centre into a thriving neighbourhood but will also preserve its distinct character, paying homage to its urban and historic setting.
This distinctive urban quarter, right at the heart of Lee Green, will bring much-needed investment and new homes to the area. This development will breathe new life into an outdated and largely impermeable site, connecting various spaces and focusing on the creation of a stunning Central Square. The result is a vibrant and dynamic environment that adds vitality to the Lee Green District Centre.
The goal is to create an integrated and harmonious community linking this scheme with the local historic context and neighbouring heritage assets, taking the inspiration from the existing urban grain and materiality evident at the Tiger’s Head Junction and surrounding areas.
This development will create new job opportunities for the local community with a new supermarket and strategically positioned commercial units enhancing the District Centre, and a pub and restaurant facing the Central Square, contributing to the vibrant day and night atmosphere. Additionally, a new gym, medical centre, and community centre facility will provide crucial support to the community, nurturing education, creativity, and culture among local youth and residents.
