Offering space for people to relax and spend time in fresh air with nature is a key element of build-to-rent post Covid.
With that in mind, we’re excited to see this beautiful roof terrace emerging on site at our Victoria Square, Woking project. The space is filled with bespoke planting and sits as a communal area between our two residential towers.
Benoy is delivering architecture masterplanning and interior design for the approx 646 000 square foot project which includes more than 125,000 square feet of new retail space –with a 50,000 square feet Marks & Spencer – as well as 429 residential apartments, a new 22-storey four star Hilton hotel with conference facilities, a new restaurant unit on Commercial Way let to Gail’s Bakery, two public plazas, a medical centre and circa 3200 parking spaces.
From day one, the regeneration of Woking has been about improving local infrastructure and public realm to create a revitalised town centre. It’s been about offering a diverse mix of assets and uses, which not only help generate footfall and investment, but reflect the blurring of boundaries in modern life. Crucially, as COVID-19 has taken hold, we’ve seen just how important this work can be in reconnecting people with place and re-engaging communities with their local environment.
The project is being managed by Victoria Square Woking Limited, a joint venture between Moyallen Holdings Ltd and Woking Borough Council. The development is due to complete later this year. Contact Robert Bentley to find out more.
