Croydon is Changing

Southern House is right at the heart of East Croydon and close to a number of transformational projects.

Boxpark has revolutionised the food and drink offering in town. Eighty shipping containers provide a home to a huge range of pop-up restaurants, bars and cafes within a 3 minute walk from Southern House.

To the east of Southern House, Ruskin Square Building 1 is home to HMRC and Building 2 will complete in 2023 having been pre-let to the Home Office. The scheme will ultimately comprise 1.25m sq ft of offices, 625 residential units and 100,000 sq ft of retail, restaurant and leisure space, changing the landscape around East Croydon station.

East Croydon Station is itself due to be reconfigured by Network Rail increasing the number of platforms from six to eight, which will increase capacity for more trains and improve passenger facilities.

Croydon is fast becoming an established residential location within London, with a number of significant schemes recently completed or now on site.

To the south, Ten Degrees – Croydon’s tallest building and the world’s tallest modular building at 44 storeys - provides a new premium living experience in the heart of Croydon offering 546 brand new apartments with a range of amenities such as roof terraces and tenant gyms.

To the south west, the Queen’s Quarter development designed by Stirling-prize winning architects is well progressed and will comprise 513 new homes as well as revitalising The Queen’s Gardens. The adjacent Queen’s Square scheme will see the Nestle tower converted to 290 new homes with further redevelopment to provide a new town square.

Various residential schemes are under construction in east and west Croydon providing in excess of 2,000 new units in schemes such as Saffron Square, Ruskin Square and St. George’s Tower.

Croydon TECH CITY is home to over a thousand digital, tech and creative startups and is officially london’s fastest growing tech startup cluster.
