For 93 years Highbury stadium was energised by thousands of fans who would pile in to cheer on the world-renowned Arsenal football team. Following the team’s move to the new Emirates Stadium two years ago, the old art-deco arena is getting a new pulse as it is transformed into a luxury residential development.
The design, by Allies and Morrison will be used as 700 residential apartments and penthouse all ranging from 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms. The blocks encircling a two-acre communal garden space, cleverly divided along the old chalk lines of the pitch. This project is to be complete by 2010, so all Arsenal fans get your money ready!
