At Capital & Regional, we’re thrilled to share the latest updates on our partnership with Long Harbour and Tide, driving phenomenal progress on the Build to Rent housing development at 17&Central. This project is set to redefine the landscape of Walthamstow, blending modern residential development with an expansive retail experience, creating a vibrant and thriving community.
A Vision for Walthamstow’s Future
The development features 495 apartments, with 99 designated as affordable housing at Discounted Market Rent (DMR). This ensures that local residents and workers in Waltham Forest have priority access to these homes, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the community.
Expanding Our Retail Horizon
As part of this ambitious project, we are extending our centre to include 50 new retail units. This expansion represents a significant boost to Walthamstow’s retail offer, providing a diverse range of shopping options for the local community. Whether you’re a fashion enthusiast, a tech aficionado, or simply looking for everyday essentials, our new units are designed to cater to all your needs.
Creating Impactful Changes
Our commitment goes beyond brick and mortar. We’re dedicated to creating incredible spaces that breathe new life into the communities we serve. The Walthamstow development will feature numerous impactful changes, including:
£200 Million Investment: A substantial investment into the town centre, designed to invigorate the local economy and enhance the community’s infrastructure.
50,000 sq. ft of New Retail and Leisure Space: Expanding the retail and leisure offerings, providing more shopping, dining, and entertainment options for everyone.
Permanent Retail Jobs: Creating numerous job opportunities, contributing to the local economy, and providing stable employment for residents.
Purpose-Built Children’s Playground: A new space dedicated to children’s play and family activities, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle for our younger residents.

Investing in the Community
At Capital & Regional, we believe in the power of positive change. Our investment in Walthamstow is a testament to our commitment to creating spaces where operators and consumers alike can flourish. We’re not just building new units; we’re building a future where every visit to our centre is an experience to remember.
