Hale Wharf

Tim Crocker

This project is creating a new sustainable waterside development offering a mix of high quality council let, market and PRS homes in a series of blocks arranged around a central shared space.

Half Wharf occupies a sliver of land where the urban intensity of Tottenham Hale meets the reservoirs and rivers of the Lee Valley. Phase one of the development provides 249 homes in the two tallest buildings within the Hale Wharf masterplan, rising to 21-storeys and 14-storeys. Influenced by the robust detail of historical waterside buildings, the multi-stock brick envelopes of the pair are punctuated by a repeating rhythm of recessed metal windows and projecting balconies, affording spectacular views of the surrounding greenbelt.

David Joyce, former Director of Placemaking & Housing at Haringey Council:

“Hale Wharf has arguably the best affordable homes in the UK. It is now a thriving neighbourhood of 503 new homes, including 191 for affordable rent, integrated with nature. This bold regeneration has delivered tangible improvements in living conditions and is a fantastic example of partnership working between Muse, London Borough of Haringey, supported by the Mayor of London and the GLA."

Situated along the eastern edge of Tottenham, creating a new sustainable waterside development offering a mix of high quality affordable, market and rental homes of a variety of sizes in a series of blocks arranged around a central shared space. Its first phase, now on site, consists of a 21-storey residential building, which references the historic canal-side character of its setting. The introduction of new pedestrian and cycle bridges will provide access to the site and improve connectivity between Tottenham Hale and the Lea Valley Park. The new development will include small retail units at ground floor level, as well as safeguarding access to the employment barges moored on the channel.
