Mixed-use development Gateway House completes in Finchley Central

Columbia Group is pleased to announce Formation Design & Build has completed Gateway House. This large, mixed-use development replaces a 1960s office in Finchley Central with two new blocks providing 77 flats, two levels of office space, car parking, a Waitrose supermarket and a new, re-located public library at street and basement levels. In a conservation area and adjacent to a listed building, one block continues the existing streetscape in matching brick, whilst the taller, eight-storey block stands apart, elliptical in plan and finished in pre-cast, re-constituted stone panels with full height glazing.

David Kennedy, CEO of Columbia Group, commented:

‘When done well mixed-use developments have the potential to reinvigorate a neighbourhood, and that is what we believe Gateway House will accomplish. We are delighted with the positive response this new site has received.’
