Some 284 homes marked as affordable will be at North Middlesex University Hospital in Enfield, in plans confirmed by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
The Mayor purchased the site in 2019 and 2022 to support his mission to increase housebuilding across the capital.
Half the homes will be at social rent and half will be shared ownership. The scheme will include low-rise flats and terraced properties ranging from one-bedroom to four-bedroom homes.
The development is being delivered by Vistry Group in partnership with the Hyde Group.
Sadiq Khan, The Mayor of London, said: “I’m determined to do everything in my power to make housing more affordable and sustainable for Londoners, which is why I’m partnering with Vistry Group to deliver 284 new homes at North Middlesex University Hospital – a 100 per cent genuinely affordable housing scheme.
“In addition to delivering much needed new homes, this landmark development will feature new green spaces and first-class community facilities – including a nursery and café – serving not only future residents, but the wider community as a whole.
“Tackling housing pressures in the capital and delivering affordable new homes for Londoners remains a top priority for me as we work together to build a better, fairer London for everyone.”
All of the affordable homes will be dual aspect and triple glazed, with enhanced ventilation and insulation.
They will be connected to Enfield’s new borough-wide energy network, which provides low carbon heat directly to the homes and eliminates the need for individual boilers, reducing energy costs.
Khan has committed to building 40,000 new council homes by 2030.
Kevin Delve, managing director of Vistry East London, said: “We are thrilled to partner with the GLA and Hyde to deliver 284 homes in Enfield, of which 100% will be affordable, meeting a crucial need for high-quality housing.
“Drawing on our extensive experience in delivering transformational residential-led projects in London, this mixed-use development will not only provide much-needed homes but also new office space.
“We will also deliver a new park, café, and nursery, ensuring long-term benefits for the wider community and helping to create a thriving, well-connected place for people to live and work.”
