United Colleges Group sells sites in Wembley and Dollis Hill to fund new campus
A joint venture between The Hill Group and Pinnacle Investments have purchased land to deliver more than 1,900 new homes in Brent, north-west London.
The pair, operating as Dollis Hill Wembley LLP, have completed the acquisition of two sites from United Colleges Group in Wembley and Dollis Hill for a mixed-use development programme.
As part of the proposals, Sovereign Network Group will deliver 154 social rent homes across the scheme, while the Greater London Authority is providing grant funding for affordable homes through its Homes for Londoners Fund.
At the former college campus on Dudden Hill Lane in Dollis Hill, the project will deliver up to 1,627 mixed-tenure homes across a series of buildings ranging from four to 28 storeys, alongside new retail and commercial space and a new public park with podium gardens and landscaped space equivalent to two football pitches.
Playground facilities will be installed in the two existing public parks within the site, which will also provide a new community centre, nursery, gym, local shops, cafés and co-working spaces.
The Wembley site is located at the start of Olympic Way, which leads up to the stadium. It will replace the former College of Northwest London campus building and will comprise an 18-storey and 30-storey linked tower.
This part of the scheme will provide 307 flats, including 85 homes for social rent, all designed with a balcony or terrace. Commercial and retail space will be provided on the ground floors alongside a concierge service and cycle storage.
United Colleges Group has said the sale of these sites is enabling it to develop a new purpose-built educational campus on Olympic Way, close to Wembley Park Station. It will offer courses focusing on green skills, engineering and the built environment.
The project’s total 1,934 new homes is equivalent to 84% of Brent’s annual housing requirement under the London Plan.
Brent Council granted permission for the Dollis Hill masterplan in December 2025.
Work on the first phase of the scheme is expected to begin this spring.
