St George, a proud member of the Berkeley Group, recently welcomed representatives from Sainsbury’s, one of the largest operators of supermarkets in the UK, to Silkstream to showcase the progress being made on one of Hendon’s most exciting and sustainable new developments.
Following the deal being announced in 2020 and construction commencing last year, the development is progressing well. The foundations of the development have now been prepared, and the floor of Bower House, the first block in the development, has been laid. The structural columns that will support its entire structure are also being built, and attendees took the opportunity to pour concrete into a section of one to the rear of the block as part of the visit.
The new 43,000sq ft Sainsbury’s flagship store is scheduled to open in 2024 and will include undercover parking for over 250 customers and sit alongside a 1.5-acre public park with play space for families. The nine-acre development will also provide 1,309 homes, as well as 10,000sq ft of flexible commercial space for cafés, restaurants, office space or a gym.
