Residential developer HUB and specialist investor Bridges Fund Management have completed The Boiler House, an innovative and stylish 54-home building at the heart of The Old Vinyl Factory regeneration project in Hayes.

Designed by renowned architecture practice Studio Egret West and built by Henry Construction, The Boiler House provides 54 contemporary studio, one and two-bed homes, with floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek kitchens and spacious balconies.

The building’s distinctive stainlesssteel shingle façade and bright orange staircase cover a cross-laminated timber structure – this provides a range of environmental and thermal benefits, as well as enabling an ultra-efficient construction process.

The Boiler House also offers rooftop allotments for residents to grow their own vegetables and plants. There are two ground floor retail units either side of the bright and colourful entrance lobbies.

Of the remaining two bedroom units, prices start at £415,000 with Stamp Duty paid and Help to Buy available. Just a short walk from the new Hayes and Harlington Elizabeth Line station, which will provide 20 minute journeys into central London, the homes have been popular with over 80% sold prior to completion and only a handful now remaining.

Steve Sanham, managing director at HUB said: “We’re really excited to complete this unique scheme in Hayes – a rapidly evolving and wellconnected part of west London, and a great location to live and work.

“This is also a real milestone for the wider regeneration site. The Boiler House is exactly what we aim to deliver with all of our schemes: environmentally responsible, attainable homes for local people, designed and finished to a high specification.”

Simon Ringer, partner and head of Property Funds at Bridges Fund Management, said: “London desperately needs more high-quality, lower-cost housing to meet the needs of its evergrowing population. The projects we are developing with HUB in underserved areas of London draw on the latest sustainable design and construction techniques.

“It is great to see the first of these innovative projects reach completion, and we look forward to welcoming the first residents into The Boiler House.”

The £250 million Old Vinyl Factory masterplan is a mixed-use regeneration project on the former EMI site.
