Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield received approval from Croydon Council in 2024 to redevelop the front of the historic Allders department store. The revitalization includes seven new retail and food units, ranging from 450 to 1,300 square feet, marking the first phase of the Allders revival. This initiative follows successful community events, such as the Costa Del Croydon beach experience, which drew significant visitor numbers. Project leaders emphasize their commitment to balancing modern needs while preserving Allders' rich heritage, a key part of Croydon's identity since its opening in 1862.
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield's redevelopment of the former Allders department store aims to revitalize the site with new food outlets, shops, and community services.
The redevelopment represents the first phase in revitalizing the historic Allders building, which has been largely unused since its closure in 2012.
Penny Cameron emphasized the project's significance, stating it will bring the community together while preserving the building’s heritage, marking a new era for Croydon.
Mayor Jason Perry praised the redevelopment as part of broader regeneration plans for Croydon, enhancing the town centre's appeal and community offerings.
