A key stage has been reached at Alperton Bus Depot, with the high-profile scheme achieving Gateway 3 approval and practical completion in July 2026, bringing forward a new mixed-use development for residents in Brent.
The development, which forms part of the Alperton regeneration masterplan, has successfully delivered 461 new homes across three buildings, with 40% designated as affordable housing. The development also incorporates approximately 2,556 sqm of space for local businesses and start-ups, known as Alperton Yard.
Together, these elements create a new community that brings lasting benefits to the wider area, introducing vibrancy to a formerly underutilised site. The project balances contemporary design with functionality, marking an important new chapter for the Alperton community.
Alperton Bus Depot initially qualified for transitional arrangements under the Building Safety Act, but work was disrupted because the Approved Inspector failed to register with the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) by the April 2024 deadline. To manage this transition, Stace co-ordinated regular meetings with all stakeholders to track progress against the requirements for Gateway 2 and 3 approvals.
Another key challenge for Stace was ensuring all parties met their obligations under the DFA and JCT contracts. This required monitoring a wide range of deliverables, duties and obligations across the developer, contractor and funder. To maintain transparency and accountability, these were tracked through a regularly updated master compliance tracker, which proved particularly critical during the handover process.
Stace acted as Independent Certifier, Contract Administrator and Cost Consultant for Telford Homes.
