Located in Colindale, North West London, the second phase of the build-to-rent scheme comprises 154 homes across two blocks, as well as a roof top terrace on the ninth floor, all of which will be managed by award-winning residential management platform, Way of Life.

The third and final phase of 142 homes is due to be delivered in Autumn 2026, alongside additional amenity areas including a coffee shop, co-working spaces, a residents’ gym, lounges and private dining room.

This development will form an important part of the wider Beaufort Park masterplan, delivered by St George, which comprises over 3,000 homes set alongside c.90,000 sq ft of commercial space including a nursery, pub, restaurants, cafes, shops, landscaped green spaces and walking/cycling routes.

In September 2023, Long Harbour agreed to forward purchase370 new build-to-rent homes with accompanying commercial and amenity space within Beaufort Park. This acquisition formed part of the £1.5 billion Long Harbour Multifamily Joint Venture 2 (“LHMF 2”) with PSP Investments and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, targeting high quality BTR schemes of over 150 units in London, the South East and selected regional cities.  

John Coling FRICS, Development and Construction Director at Long Harbour, said: “The handover of new homes for rent in The Draper, the final phase at Beaufort Park by St George, is an important step for the project as we move towards fit out and eventually welcoming residents. With Way of Life managing the asset, residents of The Draper will be able to enjoy a range of high-quality amenities, from co-working spaces to a rooftop terrace, as well as a range of activities and events, fostering a vibrant sense of community.”

Marcus Blake, Regional Managing Director at St George, commented: “After more than two decades of regeneration, Beaufort Park has become a vibrant neighbourhood for over 8,000 residents, delivering much-needed, high quality homes, new jobs and welcoming public spaces filled with a wealth of amenities. The handover of new build-to-rent homes marks another exciting step in completing the masterplan and creating a sustainable place for generations to come.”
