First homes completed above Crossrail station

Apartments Crossrail project
The first homes to be constructed above a new Crossrail station have been completed by Berkeley Homes in Woolwich at Royal Arsenal. More than a thousand homes will be constructed above the new Crossrail station in Woolwich as part of two separate developments at Royal Arsenal Riverside; one by Berkley Homes and another by Crossrail. Crossrail 2 is a new railway line that goes partly underground and connects the Southwest of London with the Northwest.

Berkeley Homes’ Cannon Square scheme, located over the eastern end of the station, comprises 631 apartments over five buildings. It is part of the ongoing regeneration of the former munitions factory into a mixed-use riverside development, spanning 88 acres. 90 per cent of the apartments released so far have been sold, with 121 homes now finished.

Crossrail has also received planning permission for a major residential development, to be known as Armourer’s Court, on the western end of the station. Nearly 400 homes, spanning 490,000 sq. ft., will be created in five buildings of varying heights set around a landscaped garden.
