Eastman Village

Eastman Village: A Historic Regeneration in North West London

 

Transforming the historic 125-year-old Kodak factory site, Eastman Village is a £1.75 billion large-scale residential regeneration project by Barratt London and The Hyde Group. Designed by award-winning architects Pollard Thomas Edwards, the masterplan creates a vibrant new urban neighborhood in Harrow that perfectly balances modern living with industrial heritage. Named after Kodak founder George Eastman, the site thoughtfully preserves the iconic 213ft factory chimney, beautifully repurposing it into an eco-friendly energy center that provides heating for the entire development. For the global investor and discerning homeowner, this landmark project delivers a unique blend of heritage, striking red-brick facades, and sustainable urban living.

 

A Lifestyle of Wellness and Urban Convenience

 

Designed as a "self-contained" community, Eastman Village places a strong focus on wellness and convenience, enriched by over 6 acres of landscaped parkland, the "Green Link" linear park, communal podium gardens, and specialized landscaping to boost local biodiversity by at least 10%.

 

• Health & Fitness: A modern residents' gym equipped with state-of-the-art TechnoGym machines.

• Everyday Ease: An on-site Sainsbury’s Local, a planned primary school, and a dedicated concierge service for select buildings, such as the 15-story Cunningham Apartments.

• Community & Retail: A vibrant mix of restaurants, cafés, community spaces, and commercial units.

• Sustainable Living: Green living is emphasized with an EPC B rating for all homes, over 2,000 solar panels, electric vehicle (EV) charging points, and extensive cycle storage.
