Executive summary from entrant: 

Grand Union in Alperton showcases the transformative potential of brownfield regeneration. Once a derelict 22-acre industrial estate with abandoned and deteriorating warehouses and inaccessible land, it is being revitalised by St George, part of the Berkeley Group, into a vibrant Canalside neighbourhood. The development will deliver 3,350 homes, 35% affordable, a Canalside Piazza with cafés, restaurants, and a Community Hub. Half the site is dedicated to open spaces, delivering a 240% net biodiversity gain. With phased construction underway, Grand Union replaces urban decay with sustainable living, family-friendly design, and high-quality public spaces, creating and fostering relationships between the new and existing communities.
