The builder’s private residential sector brand Be: Here has bought the Gatefold Building for £4m at the 18-acre old EMI factory redevelopment.
This 132-unit first phase residential project will kick start the wider development and is expected to start on site in the last quarter of this year.
The Old Vinyl Factory in the centre of Hayes will provide 600 homes as well as a multi-screen Vue cinema complex and 20,000 sq ft of bars and restaurants.
The historic factory became the centre of the world’s vinyl record production, pressing records for everyone from The Beatles to Jimi Hendrix, the Beach Boys and Elvis Presley.
At the height of its operations in the 1960s 14,000 people worked there on a 150-acre site.
