Folk Co-Living Granted Planning Permission for Brent Cross Town

Facilities will include a co-working space, a rooftop residents’ kitchen, wellness spa, multiple roof terraces, a music studio, and a range of other thoughtfully designed shared spaces aimed at fostering community and enhancing everyday living.

This will be Folk Co-Living’s fourth London property, joining successful schemes in South and North West London, and further strengthening the brand’s position as a leader in the UK’s fast-growing co-living sector.

Chris Saunders, Investment Director for Folk Co-Living by DTZ Investors said: ““We are thrilled to have been granted planning permission for our next exciting development. As demand for co-living grows, particularly in London, we’re proud to be at the forefront of the sector. Brent Cross Town will be a diverse, vibrant place to live, and it’s an honour for Folk to play a key role in shaping it.”

Brent Cross Town is set to include 6,700 homes by masterplan completion, with co-living making an important contribution to the emerging living offer which also includes later living, Build-to-Rent, for-sale and affordable homes and student accommodation. The new co-living plot will form one building in an emerging ‘multi-generational quarter’ that will also feature the town’s first later living development, alongside affordable for-sale homes and attractive public courtyards and gardens between these different tenure types to help foster a truly diverse, mixed-use community.
