The Welbourne plot in Heart of Hale

Within Related Argent's major Tottenham Hale regeneration, BREE Construction is delivering the Welbourne plot, providing 131 council-rent homes for the London Borough of Haringey. Awarded in 2020 as part of the wider 500 million pound Heart of Hale programme, the scheme has been on site since 2020 and is valued at around 35 million pounds.

The development is arranged across three blocks rising to 16 storeys, with CZWG Architects and Pollard Thomas Edwards involved in the design. A two-tone red brick facade gives the buildings their character, while a bespoke tapered blue-roof podium manages rainwater across the site.

Homes, health and a named legacy

Alongside the council homes, the scheme delivers retail space and the Welbourne Health Centre, a new primary care facility providing services for around 30,000 local residents. The residential building has been named Walter Tull House in honour of the pioneering footballer and soldier, with a naming ceremony held in December 2024.

The Welbourne plot is being built by BREE Construction (South) Ltd at Chesnut Road, working within one of London's largest current regeneration schemes. As delivery continues, the development is providing genuinely affordable council homes, new health provision and active ground-floor uses at the centre of a transforming Tottenham Hale.

The Welbourne block forms one of the first phases of the Heart of Hale regeneration, alongside packages delivered by other contractors, and has involved a supply chain spanning brickwork, facade, drylining, steelwork and waterproofing specialists. As a live scheme, it continues to take shape as a landmark mixed-tenure quarter at the gateway to Tottenham Hale.

A flagship within a major regeneration

The Welbourne plot delivered by BREE is among the defining residential components of Related Argent's Heart of Hale, demonstrating how council-rent homes, primary health provision and retail can be brought together within a single high-density quarter at the centre of a transforming Tottenham Hale.
