The Mayor of Harrow, Councillor Yogesh Teli, and the Mayor of Brent, Councillor Amer Agha, visited the Northwick Parkside regeneration scheme in Harrow on October 15 to inspect progress on the housing development.
Vistry and Sovereign Network Group are jointly delivering the project, which is planned to provide 654 homes within a mixed-tenure neighbourhood.
Public space, better transport links and community amenities are also included in the development.
Teli said the scheme met the borough’s requirements by supplying high-quality affordable housing and supporting a vibrant, sustainable community.
He also welcomed cooperation between the partners to expand housing choices for residents, allowing people to remain near their families, workplaces and support networks.
He said he anticipated that the construction would continue to develop before welcoming its future occupants.
Councillors and the University of Westminster’s Pro-Vice-Chancellor also attended the visit.
The group received details about shared ownership availability and viewed homes that had already been finished.
Completion figures stand at 50 shared-ownership properties and 35 privately marketed homes.
The balance of the development is expected to be completed across 2026.
During the tour, visitors saw a new piece of public art produced by a University of Westminster student.
The university and SNG had organised a competition to select the artist.
Kalumba Musambachime, Head of Sales for London & East at SNG, said the range of housing would address varied community needs.
Shared ownership and affordable rent form part of the offer, alongside London Living Rent, social rent and key-worker rental accommodation.
Agha said the project would benefit the surrounding community.
She also praised the new artwork as evidence of young people’s creativity and talent, while adding that it would contribute something distinctive to the locality.
Apartments with one or two bedrooms are included in the development, which also contains a nursery, a community hub and homes that can be adapted for wheelchair users.
Northwick Park station on the Metropolitan line is five minutes away, while Kenton station, served by the Bakerloo line and overground services, can be reached in 10 minutes.
Wembley Park is a four-minute tube journey away and provides access to shops, restaurants and leisure venues.
The scheme is also intended to encourage green travel and support healthier lifestyles through pedestrian and cycle routes, as well as connections to nearby parks and open spaces.
