Egyptian developer Aldau Developments has got the planning thumbs up for one of the capital’s tallest residential schemes in West London.

Two towers rising to 58-storeys and 44-storeys will provide around 670 flats and a 90-room hotel at the Old Oak and Park Royal development zone in North Acton.

The latest approved plan for 4 Portal Way is the second incarnation of the high-rise gateway scheme following approval of a slightly shorter double tower project designed by architect KPF three years ago.

The new project is designed by architect Apt, with engineer AECOM providing fire designs and WSP construction logistics and sustainability and transport advice.

Bram van der Wal, director and project leader at Apt, said: “We’re thrilled that the OPDC has approved the proposal which has not only been configured to complement North Acton’s emerging Southern Gateway cluster but also create a new destination for the local community, and we look forward to working with Aldau through the next stages of the project.”

Ground level podium for two towers will include three-storey canopied entrance

Niall Watters of ALDAU Development said:  “The tireless work of our design team and officers is evident in the quality of the scheme which received unanimous consent. We are excited to move forward and deliver.

“This highly efficient, residential-led, mixed-use scheme with hotel, will stand out in a busy build to rent market, bringing hospitality to real estate and much needed new homes to West London”

Demolition and construction works are anticipated to be delivered over 4.5 years from start of construction in the first quarter of 2025, with completion targeted for Spring 2029.
