restaurant, Sam’s Waterside, as well as coffee shop favourites like Gail’s and Prêt a Manger, and major supermarket, Morrisons.

One of the most exciting developments in west London, located at the meeting point of the River Thames and the River Brent, the scheme is breathing fresh life into the neighbourhood with a mix of new homes, public spaces and new dining, entertaining and shopping amenities.

The past six months have seen significant milestones for the development, including the completion of its first two buildings and the arrival of its first residents. There are over 100 residents now settled into their new homes and enjoying the new waterside neighbourhood, including newly opened coffee shop and deli, Sam’s Larder. A west London local, Sam’s Larder joins an extensive list of businesses and brands that already call The Brentford Project home, including bakery Rye by the Water, classic and supercar hub Duke of London, and restaurants including Santa Maria Pizzeria and Tex-Mex spot, D Grande.

With impressive progress and success to date, 2023 is also set to be a big year for The Brentford Project, which is set to announce a host of new commercial tenants in the coming months. These will join already confirmed brands including brasserie-style

This summer will also see the return of the highly successful Summer Series at The Brentford Project, a busy programme of freeof-charge community events between June to September. From all-day outdoor festivals and a modern twist on a summer garden party through to rooftop dining and exclusive talks with some of the town’s most exciting entrepreneurs, the Summer Series is set to celebrate the very best of this west London neighbourhood.

Behind the scenes, new community spaces are well underway to open up the riverside, with Workhouse Dock set to open in September – a fresh space for public events, performances, outdoor markets on the riverside, and of course, a place for all to relax, spend time and enjoy life by the water.

Once complete, the Brentford Project will become a truly walkable neighbourhood for residents of the 876 apartments as well as the existing Brentford and west London community, with the newly reinvigorated high street reconnected to the waterfront via a series of charming pedestrianised yards and lanes.

The high street will be dedicated to all the amenities desired for modern living, with a selection of market-leading retailers, alongside a major supermarket, boutique cinema and traditional shops including a bakery, greengrocer and butcher. Meanwhile, the passageways of the lanes will be dedicated to supporting emerging local businesses, home to a variety of boutiques, independent retailers, artisans, craftspeople and budding entrepreneurs.

The scheme will also increase access to the water, including extensions to the Thames path and at Workhouse Dock – which neighbours Waterfront Square – an existing but neglected mooring on the River Brent will be rejuvenated with 24-hour moorings, and lined with restaurants, pubs, and cafés with a new public realm including tiered seating terraces.

Apartments offer the best of waterside living too, with flexible living spaces, far-reaching views and generous private outdoor spaces, as well as a range of residents’ amenities including a co-working space, outdoor heated swimming pool, gym, and wellness studio. With an impressive 75% of apartments already sold in the first phase, there are many beautifully designed apartments ready for those looking for a new home in 2023 (prices from £425,000).

Access to central London is also quick and easy, with trains from Brentford Station taking just 24 minutes to reach Waterloo. There are also plans underway for a West London Orbital rail link between Hounslow to Hendon, set to stop at Brentford and further increase the area’s connectivity, whilst a new cycleway offers another option for travel by bike and links Brentford with town centres including Hammersmith, Chiswick and Kensington. For travel by road, the M4 is also close by.
