Upton Park land if sold= 100million how much The Valley land ?

pete_tong1

Read in the Express at the weekend that West Ham are looking to sell Upto Park for 100 million and move to another stadium, the obvious one Olympic Stadium and i have heard rumours somewhere around the Thurock area.

How much The Valley's land worth and is this another reason why the board i or has been looking at other options earlier this season.

Neither are worth much without the right planning consent.

I'm sure Greenwich Council has a 'Recreational Use' order on The Valley, which is why it couldn't be built on by Sunley in the exile years.

if the right Planning consents were in, Upton Park would be worth more

How much did Highbury sell for ?

Rothko

Didn't Arsenal retain the land but got a developer for the build etc?

Rothko -

I don't think so a 3/4 bed Victorian terrace around Upton Park is in the 290K to 350K price range in SE7 they are not to different in price. A 3 bed sold on Inverine Rd for £330K plus recently.

The Valley is probably a bit slightly bigger site than Upton park as well.

Did you see the inside of that inverine road one? looked lovely.

Can't see that. Land with planning for housing development in Bromley is going for around £2-£3m per acre tops. Upton Park can't be more than 8 acres (the Valley is about 10) and there is already a great big hotel at UP. Also it isn't exactly a great area even if it does have a tube and is nicer than sink slums like Woolwich ;-)

£100 may be what you could sell the houses you built for (180 homes x 550,000) but that is still pretty steep for such a dense housing project. Figures just don't add up IMHO

I agree, it seems far too high a figure.

pickwick

Curb it, agreed they certainly had done a job on the house, mines not too different, when all the childrens toys are put away.

pickwick

Agree with you Henry I would have thought the Valley would have been worth a bit more but neither towards the price quoted.

Rothko

Upton Park has better links, massive investment in local infrastructure due in the next 6 years for the Olympics, Channel Tunnel Rail link, Crossrail, and for example better schools.

Charlton doesn't have any of that

pickwick

Not sure that's true we already have rail and tube, and TfL are promising a tram (bus thing) and new bridge;

the Olympics are coming to Greenwich as well, at least 3 local venues south of the river in SE10/7 the dome lets face it is more SE7 than SE10!

Isn't crossrail coming to Woolwich?

Super Casino? and the O2 arena a world class music venue open in the summer.

Don't really believe the schools of Newham are much better than Greenwich's; Greenwich do have good primary and infant schools it just all goes pear shaped when the 25% clever kids leave at 11 to go and be taught in Bexley/Dartford/Private education.
