"We are different from the Westfield of old. We are here, and we are going to deliver," said Tim Hurstwyn, Development Director at URW, highlighting a commitment to the new vision for Croydon's Westfield development. He acknowledged the challenges of past delays but emphasized a fresh approach that combines retail and housing, indicating a significant shift from the previous plans that primarily focused on retail. The assurance of their resolve signifies a turning point for Croydon’s development aspirations.
Hurstwyn underlined the necessity for adaptability in urban development, stating, "If the last few things have taught us anything, it is that building for a particular use is short-sighted." This perspective reflects a broader industry trend prioritizing mixed-use developments, allowing for flexibility to meet evolving community needs. It signifies an understanding of the changing retail landscape and a sensitivity to community aspirations, making the new development more relevant to Croydon's future.
