The Brentford Project named Development of the Year

Ballymore’s ambitious vision for the redevelopment of Brentford town centre has earned the prestigious PROPS Development of the Year award. This achievement coincides with the exciting news that the project has also been shortlisted for a British Homes Award.

The PROPS Awards celebrate organisations that have excelled in the UK property sector, while also raising vital funds for children and young people through the Variety charity. Judges celebrated The Brentford Project as a bold approach to regeneration. The development injects new life into a previously neglected and overlooked waterfront area of west London regeneration – responding directly to local needs, revitalising the town centre and waterfront, delivering new private and affordable homes, five acres of public realm, new retail and leisure spaces, and creating employment opportunities.

Speaking of the win, Ballymore’s Managing Director John Mulryan said: “The PROPS Awards provide a unique opportunity for our industry to come together and celebrate our collective achievements while raising funds for a worthy cause.

“I am delighted that our work in Brentford has been recognised and extend my congratulations to all the other winners.”

In a simultaneous announcement, the judges of the 2024 British Homes Awards revealed that The Brentford Project has been shortlisted for the prestigious Regeneration Scheme of the Year Award.

The announcements follow a productive year for Ballymore at Brentford, with 319 private homes and 96 affordable homes completed. As a result, 220 residents now call The Brentford Project's one-bedroom studios to three-bedroom apartments home.

The commercial ecosystem at The Brentford Project is also flourishing, with 10 new retailers, many of which are independents, underscoring the development's appeal. Notable additions this year include brasserie-style restaurant Sam’s Waterside and deli Sam’s Larder by West London entrepreneur Sam Harrison, rug company Mother Rugger, bookseller Hewson Books, Italian restaurant Rottura, Everyman Cinema, and a permanent space for classic car dealership Duke of London, thanks to Ballymore's ongoing support.
