Amro, the European real estate investor, is holding a second community event showcasing its plans for the Lewisham retail park site and seeking feedback on its initial development proposals.
Amro acquired the retail park, which includes Matalan and Sports Direct outlets, from Legal and General in early 2024 and plans to transform the site into a £400m residential-led development.
The development forms a big part of the 20-year Lewisham regeneration plan and will include about 1,000 new homes in five high-rise blocks. One of the blocks is likely to be close to the maximum height of 35 storeys.
But as well as new homes, the residential blocks will house flexible ground floor space to support local small businesses and generate employment.
There will also be a focus on creating attractive and accessible landscaped green spaces, with open access into and around the site for pedestrians and cyclists.
Amro is aiming to submit a planning application for the development in August this year with the aim of starting construction on the site in April 2026.
