Sidcup Marks & Spencer development due to complete in 2024
Work on 59 new homes and a Marks and Spencer Food Hall store in Sidcup are set to open next year.
The building topped out some time ago and a recent passing look reminded me to check what’s happening.
Developer Purelake have begun marketing homes this month and also stated that progress is “giving us confidence that the date of Autumn 2024 for the completion of our 59 one, two and three apartments plus an M&S Foodhall is on target”.
The site formerly saw a large co-op. The M&S will not be as big.
It’s close to the railway station though Southeastern often seem completely unaware new homes are being built near their stations and trying to appeal to new residents.
Perhaps people will use the new Superloop express bus to Abbey Wood for the Elizabeth line in future.
A Waitrose AND a Marks and Spencer in the same town? How fancy!
The hoardings still say Autumn 2023… Be a shame if the new store won’t open until a year later than that. Also the planning permission was for larger square footage than the co-op if I recall correctly?
