new development SGR

kathyb

does anyone know the latest on the S and O properties development at the Finsbury Park end of Stroud Green Road ie which shops/restaurants to move in?

Ali

I was cycling past and was wondering what is happening with the shop units. It seems like the floor level inside gets progressively higher as you walk down to the tube so the entrance has to be at the Worlds End end of the building so it can only be one large unit, if not and it is more than one unit there is going to be either quite a steep ramp or steps which is not great if your in a wheel chair. Anyone know what is likely to happen with the shops?

According to one of the guys at the Budget Supermarket on the corner of SGR/Woodstock Rd, it's going to be a Sainsbury's.

Well that's entirely uninspiring. We already have Nisa and Budget Supermarket for small bits and a short walk to Tesco or the existing Sainsburys for bigger shops. At least something like a Budgens may offer a little more variety. Another Sainsburys, great. May as well not bother...

There's also going to be a Sainsbury's opposite the City & I on Blackstock Road, according to the same guy. V. dull.

Donna

yup it's going to be a sainsbury's. At least, that's according to the builders who are always standing around pretending to give the appearance of doing nothing, when I interrupted them hard at work to ask this question.

The Blackstock Road one is in the shop fitting out stage

The Sainsbury's application hasn't been approved yet, still says 'report being prepared'.

Ali

I think I would want to know who is going into the shops before buying a flat there

Has anyone had a viewing of the flats? I keep meaning to call them.

ActionVerb

A friend of mine looked at the show flat, apparently some of the windows face a brick wall (presumably side of JJ building?), she told them she'll come back for another viewing if they show her one with a normal view. As far as I'm aware, she hasn't been back.

Arkady

Odd. Looking at the site-plan it’s hard to imagine how that could be. The flats start above the level of the existing John Jones structures, do they not? Regardless, the JJ scheme would remove any obstruction.

Is there a website for the developer or estate agent? All Google finds me is this http://www.wparchitects.co.uk/Architects-Housing/Housing-design/stroud-green-road.html

They are for sale with KFH. Quite a few under offer: http://www.kfh.co.uk/residential/new-flats-for-sale/london-stroud-green-n4-stroud-green-road/2090482-2000450/

Sheesh, they ain't cheap!

Ali

The one on the top is the cheapest by far ?

Arkady

What's the opposite of pay-per-view?

ActionVerb

@Ali - i think the top ones might be smaller as you're effectively in the barrel roof? @Arkady - haven't seen the flats myself, so can't comment. But in the KFH photo with the red pillows on the bed, where is that window facing?
