The Construction of Holloway Head - September 2023

Holloway Head is being re-energised with the creation of a new residential community, bringing 485 new homes to the area over the next few years.

Spread over four new builds, the site is shaping up nicely!

The site at 49 Holloway Head, just behind The Sentinels, had been a neglected eyesore for well over two decades.

In 2019, Invesco Real Estate took a punt on the area – and Holloway Head is now rising!

Spread over two phases, and four buildings, Holloway Head will ultimately deliver 132 one, 345 two & 8 three-bedroom apartments to cater to every lifestyle.

Complementing these homes will be a multitude of amenities including shared meeting and workspaces, dining areas, a residents’ media lounge, a street-facing gymnasium, courtyards, roof terraces, and spaces for 56 cars & 112 bicycles.

Phase I is well advanced and features two new buildings of up to 14 storeys fronting Holloway Head. Along with the homes it is also here where the Girl Guides will call their new HQ.

They will move from their old Trefoil House – now demolished on phase II land to the north of the site – with facilities including activity rooms, common room, a main hall, and a shop.
