Investment project
Ruskin Square - formerly the Croydon Gateway site. The site is in the ownership of Stanhope. The Council together with its development partner Arrowcroft had previously proposed an arena-based scheme. The site, alongside East Croydon station, would have included a 12,500 maximum capacity arena, offices, apartments, supermarket, health club, bars and restaurants.
Howard Holdings - This Croydon-based international developer has three residential developments comprising of 36,896 m² providing 337 apartments in the city centre. Known as The Exchange, Bridge House and Altitude 25, the three developments will include car parking, shopping and leisure facilities. Howard Holdings also own and manage the Whitgift Centre, which is about to be redeveloped.
Park Place - Minerva and Lend Lease's proposed scheme covering more than 1,000,000 sq ft (93,000 m2) includes a shopping mall, bus station and office development with a new public square, similar in size to Covent Garden's piazza, in the centre of Croydon.
Wellesley Square - Berkeley Homes proposes a mixed-use development consisting of a 44 storey tower, 800 new homes, 3000 m² of retail and public realm including a new town square. Planning has not yet been secured for this site.
Cherry Orchard Road - Developer Menta and architect Ken Shuttleworth's Make Practice are proposing a 93,000 m² mixed-use project designed as a series of crystalline towers. The development could also improve access to East Croydon station. Planning has not yet been secured for this site. The development would require office and residential values to increase substantially to make this project viable, but there are some problems with the land.
IYLO - Joint developers Phoenix Logistics and E3 Property's new residential 20 storey tower with ancillary public gardens is planned to become a focal point at the city's northern gateway.
100 George Street - A new 25,824 m² office and retail development directly opposite East Croydon station.
A 12.36-acre (50,000 m2) site adjacent to East Croydon railway station, the Stanhope Schroders Ruskin Square development is based around a park, new Warehouse Theatre, together with homes and offices. The scheme has been designed by Foster and Partners.

- Over 500,000 sq ft (46,000 m2) of 'Grade A' offices to bring new businesses to Croydon and meet the expansion needs of companies already based in the area
- Over 800 new homes - for both affordable rent and private sale - including a 35-storey residential tower
- A health and fitness centre and community health centre
- A pedestrian plaza
Wellesley Square
This strategic site on Wellesley Road has lain fallow for over 10 years and Berkeley Homes plans to use it to deliver a mixed-use development. Proposals for this northern gateway site include:
- A new public town square
- A prominent 44-storey tower
- 3,000 m² of retail floorspace including shops, restaurants and cafés surrounding the public square
- 739 new homes, 10% of which will be for shared ownership housing
- Ideas to minimise the scheme's impact on the environment. A significant proportion of the site's energy requirements will be met by on-site renewable energy sources.
- Creation of improved permeability and safeguarding of future pedestrian links between East and West Croydon stations.
