“Luxurious” £100m South East London development to deliver over 250 homes

Multi-award-winning new homes developer Weston Homes has broken ground at its new Dylon Riverside site in Sydenham, London.

As part of the second phase of the redevelopment of the former DYLON textiles factory site, the area will be transformed into a new £100m (GDV) high-quality residential development.

Providing 254 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, the development will include undercroft basement parking, a new children’s play space, an outdoor gymnasium and landscaped gardens. Construction has begun on site with the official sales launch scheduled for Spring 2023.

Designed by Ian Ritchie Architects, with detailed design by Weston Homes in-house architectural and design team, Dylon Riverside comprises two 4 to 11-storey buildings with a large communal garden extending down towards the Pool River, as well as a new lit river walk.

The three-year construction programme has now begun, with the first apartments ready to move into in summer 2024. Landscaping weaves its way through the development and the Pool River to the rear provides views from the majority of apartments. A short stroll from Dylon Riverside are “tranquil green spaces to be enjoyed”.

Sydenham is a suburb bordering Crystal Palace Park, with a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and gyms and a number of schools nearby rated either OFSTED Outstanding or Good. The new homes will be a two-minute walk to Lower Sydenham train station with direct trains to London Bridge in 14 minutes.

Bob Weston, chairman and managing director of Weston Homes, commented: “We are delighted to have broken ground at our new site in Sydenham and to be contributing to the regeneration of the area.

“The new apartments at Dylon Riverside have been designed to offer ease of maintenance and running efficiency and will be perfect for first-time buyers and young couples or families who want to live within close commuting distance to Central London without the inner-city price tag.”

The development will launch in spring 2023 from an “impressive” Marketing Suite with a Show Home showcasing the “luxurious” specification.
