Amro Partners has submitted a planning application for a mixed-use scheme in Sutton.
The Press Works scheme will comprise 312 build-to-rent and 195 co-living homes. Subject to approval, development work is scheduled to commence on site in 2026.
It includes redeveloping a former 200,000 sq ft office building, Quadrant House. The redevelopment will retain and repurpose 56% of the existing structure.
Some 35% of the homes will be designated as affordable housing, all of which will be situated within the BTR element. The scheme will also include a gym, children’s play area, residents’ lounge, co-working and dining spaces.
Amro acquired the site in September 2022, when it was occupied by LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group. It vacated the site in 2024.
Tom Donnachie, managing director of UK investment at Amro Partners, said: “Situated on a crucial gateway site, The Press Works will deliver much-needed new rental housing of different tenures, including affordable homes, and significantly enhance the public realm around Sutton station. The embodied carbon reuse will make this one of our most sustainable projects to date and we look forward to working closely with the London Borough of Sutton, local charities and residents to deliver a lasting legacy for the town.”
