CDL acquires Yardhouse site in Central London for $148.6m

Yardhouse will mark CDL’s first private rented sector project in Central London.

City Developments Limited (CDL) has acquired the Yardhouse site on Wood Lane, White City, for $148.6m, marking its first private rented sector project in Central London.

In a bourse filing, CDL said it plans to develop the 250-year leasehold site to a 17-storey apartment block with 209 co-living studio units and a total gross floor area of 102,600 square feet (sq ft).

CDL will forward-fund this PRS project likely to be completed in 2026.

CDL said it has appointed a third-party developer to develop the scheme for a fixed price and will fund the land purchase and construction in staged payments as construction progresses.

Additionally, CDL will construct a new 7-storey block adjacent to the Yardhouse site for the landowner, Women's Pioneer Housing (WPH), a non-profit organisation giving single women access to safe, secure and affordable homes and services.

The block will comprise 60 housing units and commercial office space on the ground floor, where the latter will serve as WPH’s operations post-practical completion. This initiative forms part of the $148.6m forward-funding commitment.

The Yardhouse site is opposite the 23-acre campus of Imperial College and within walking distance of Westfield London, the UK’s largest shopping centre.

The site is also a five-minute walk away from White City Underground Station and an eight-minute walk to Wood Lane Underground Station.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
