Developer J2 Global Corporation has gained planning for a £300m leisure and residential scheme to transform Luton’s former car Vauxhall plant.
The Napier Gateway mixed-use development beside Luton Airport Parkway station will include the city’s tallest tower at 22 storeys.
It will features 685 flats, a hotel complex including banqueting facilities, medical centre, public realm retail and leisure piazza, public park and landscaping throughout.
The site off Kimpton Road will also include a medical well-being centre and 209-bed hotel and retail and leisure complex, with leading bars and restaurants.
Croydon-based Blue-3 (UK) is presently on site carrying out enabling works.
Javed Hussain, Managing Director of J2 Global Corporation, said: “After years of planning we couldn’t be happier to get the go-ahead to deliver this iconic project.
“Located on the former Vauxhall site on the edge of the town centre, just across the road from Luton Airport Parkway station, it couldn’t be better placed for those that will live, work and visit here.
“Napier Gateway will help transform the town into an out-of-London hotspot, with a mixture of private sale and affordable homes, as well as modern buildings and facilities to attract new businesses, which in turn will bring hundreds of new jobs to the area.”
