Henley Investment Management’s first beds and sheds scheme is set to land in front of Hammersmith & Fulham Council next week – with officers recommending the £219m project is approved.
The Albert & Swedish Wharf scheme by the River Thames in Fulham, SW6, will see existing buildings on the site demolished and replaced with new blocks of between five and 17 storeys, including 55,000 sq ft of logistics space, 285 homes and a restaurant, as well as a new Thames path and jetty.
Speaking with EG last summer, Warwick Hunter, Henley’s managing director of development and head of ESG, said: “The Holy Grail is the fact that you’ve got an Amazon Prime barge floating in from Tilbury with a load of packages [to distribute] into the wharf, and then [doing] last mile in west London.”
Planning documents for the scheme drafted by EPR Architects described the project as “transforming an under-used parcel of land into a mixed-use development with a reimagined wharf and new homes… making a positive contribution to Fulham Riverside”.
As it stands, the wharves are in use as a car auction site and a fuel storage and transfer depot, as well as the Neverland Bar.
