    Area

Set within a new public realm alongside the Regent’s Canal, the mixed-use development will deliver state-of-the-art laboratory and office space at the heart of London’s biotech cluster.

Supporting vibrant retail, restaurants and residential space, Tribeca London offers a place to connect, innovate and relax within a network of excellence. Camden is London’s fastest-growing borough with a series of high-profile universities, hospitals and scientific and medical institutions opening there or expanding in recent years.

One of the plots, Apex, was the first building of its scale to utilise site subsoil as a construction material, through the use of earth blocks produced in collaboration with client Reef group and the brick manufacturer, H.G. Matthews.

Tribeca London replaces a large and monolithic 1980s sorting office which was previously referred to as the Ugly Brown Building by its occupants. Six mixed-use buildings are connected by pedestrian routes and public space that will also reopen access to the canal edge for the first time in 150 years.

Mixed-tenure apartments, retail and leisure facilities are provided alongside a range of offices and laboratory spaces to create a distinct, characterful and outward-looking scheme informed by its canal-side location.

Residential units are located to the south of the site, carefully orientated to offer views along the Regents Canal and to the south. Each unit will seek to maximise daylight and views, with flexible layouts and generous private balconies. A mixture of high-end private sale and affordable units are proposed in a range of unit sizes in order to create a diverse new neighbourhood.
