Oxford North – Canalside 111 homes

Oxford North project will include 480 homes, along with labs and workspaces covering an area of 936,500ft² (89,512m²) in total.

Out of the 480 new homes being developed as part of the project, at least 35% (168 homes) are expected to be affordable while the remaining will be for private sale. Approvals for the first batch of 317 homes were secured in September 2022.

Mynott Bowers completed the bills of quantities for the homes that will be built on Canalside south of the A40 and will range from one-bedroom to five-bedroom apartments. The first batch is expected to have 111 homes in the affordable category.

The first phase of development will include three buildings covering 145,000ft² (13,470m²) for laboratory and technical office spaces. Two linked buildings with four floors and a dry laboratory workplace will be accompanied by a new public park and locations to eat and drink. Each of the two buildings will provide 55,000ft² (5,109m²) of space.
