Regeneration masterplan by AHHM advances with co-living scheme proposals

The final phase in the 10-acre regeneration masterplan by Tenderstream member AHHM for Elephant Park in London has been submitted for planning approval. Developed for HUB, AHMM’s proposals transform a 1.2 acre site at Elephant & Castle into a mixed-use development comprising 678 co-living homes and social housing, a community health hub, and ground floor amenity, alongside an improved public realm.

The proposals mark a significant milestone in the final phase of the Elephant Park regeneration, building on its established build-to-rent offering with what will be Elephant and Castle’s first purpose-built co-living scheme. Plans also include the provision of one-, two- and three-bed affordable homes home site, 100% of which will be social rent. Generous outdoor amenity spaces include a shared podium courtyard, complete with a dedicated children’s play area, as well as two rooftop terraces.

The provision of a new community health hub, located on the ground and first floors of one of the buildings, responds to a long-standing need for improved healthcare infrastructure in the area to cater to its fast-growing population. The public realm design, led by landscape architects Gillespies, completes a vision for Elephant Park that prioritises community use and enhances connectivity to the wider neighbourhood.

Paul Monaghan, executive director at AHMM, states: “Following our early involvement in Elephant Park with West Grove and the subsequent Park Central East and West Developments we’re thrilled to once again collaborate with HUB, Gillespies, and the wider design team to realise the final piece of the masterplan. This project represents an exciting opportunity to deliver a truly mixed-use building, one that brings together essential healthcare facilities, much-needed social housing, and vibrant co-living apartments to complete this dynamic new neighbourhood.”
