Arsenal Football Club

Arsenal Football Club’s need for a new football stadium was the catalyst for the largest private redevelopment and regeneration scheme in London.

It was much more than just a stadium.

The development stretches over 3 miles, and covers over 60 acres of land between Caledonian Road and Highbury.

The old Highbury stadium was also converted into 750 new apartments, with residents’ facilities including a nursery and a gym.

Ken Friar the former managing director of Arsenal Football Club said of Stadium’s Antony Spencer: “We wouldn’t have been able to do the Emirates Stadium without Antony Spencer’s foresight. It was under our noses but we couldn’t see it. Not only did he find the site for us, but he spent the next few years putting it together.”
