Berkeley and Long Harbour, the investment manager specialising in operational real estate, have reached practical completion at The Draper, a 370-home build-to-rent scheme totalling 261,802 square feet in Colindale, Northwest London. As part of the Beaufort Park development, The Draper marks the last of the units to be handed over by Berkeley, who have delivered a new community at Beaufort Park over the past 24 years.
The Draper is the final phase at Beaufort Park, which has been delivered across three phases as the final building within the wider Berkeley Group masterplan. The asset is part of the Long Harbour Multifamily Joint Venture 2.
The Draper has been delivered alongside a number of modern onsite amenities, offering residents access to a gym, coffee shop, co-working spaces, guest suites and a roof terrace, all of which will be managed by award-winning management platform Way of Life. Residents at The Draper also have access to an on-site swimming pool. Long Harbour appointed Madrid-based designer Aaron David Clarke to lead delivery of the scheme and the interiors.
The Draper forms part of the wider Beaufort Park masterplan, delivered by Berkeley, which comprises 25 acres and over 3,000 homes alongside c.90,000 square feet of commercial space including a nursery, pub, restaurants, cafes, shops, landscaped green spaces and walking and cycling routes.
As a proven regeneration area, Berkeley’s Beaufort Park masterplan amenity is already in place, with community investment including a new neighbourhood hub, a new youth zone in Montrose Playing Field and the relocation of the library and centre of independent living.
