Brook Avenue is a transformative redevelopment project located within easy walking distance of Wembley Park station. This tenure-agnostic development is set to include around 480 bedrooms and communal spaces, alongside 100 affordable homes and workspace. The project is currently in development, with a planned submission for planning approval in Autumn 2023.

The site's unique linear layout is bordered by the Wealdstone Brook, graced by mature trees and lush greenery. The design emphasizes unlocking views and public access to the brook, enhancing the existing natural beauty and biodiversity. The massing cleverly bridges the lower east context with the emerging taller buildings near the station.

Architecturally, the building harmonizes with its surroundings, featuring striated brickwork that mimics eroded rock formations. Material choices graduate from traditional red tones in the east, blending with the Metroland setting to the lighter toned western portion.
