The proposals include c. 4,000 homes, for all stages of life, 2.5m sq ft of workplace that will be a hub for the climate innovation sector, three new anchor cultural venues and around half the site dedicated to public realm, including a central 4.5 acre park.
Earls Court will be a new piece of city; a destination that reflects the best of London - bold, inclusive, and innovative.
