URW
Croydon Council is considering major redevelopment plans for the Whitgift Centre, spearheaded by URW.
Major redevelopment plans for the Whitgift Centre, spearheaded by URW, were presented to Croydon's Planning Committee in September 2026. The project proposes transforming the town centre into a vibrant, mixed-use neighbourhood with thousands of new homes, reduced retail space, and enhanced public areas.
URW, which acquired the Whitgift Centre in 2023, is leading this ambitious project. The plans envision a significant shift from the current retail-dominated landscape, aiming to create a new urban environment for Croydon.
