Tottenham’s new stadium plan could allow residents to watch matches for free

A north London flat with a free Premier League season ticket? Say no more.

That could well be the reward for some high-earning Tottenham Hotspur fans, with new residential buildings to overlook their stadium.

The Europa League champions have unveiled plans for a quartet of new homes just beside their 62,800-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A 29-storey hotel is already being built by F3 architects, and it could now be joined by four more towers ranging from 19 to 35 storeys, more than high enough to overlook the pitch.

The plans also include a series of three-storey townhouses to the east of the hotel.

A design and access statement said the plans would lead to the creation of 585 homes and that they have been submitted to Haringey Council, which will rule on the detailed design in the coming months.

It also said the development would be “connected to its neighbours with shared use of certain materials, creating a holistic approach to the overall development”.

The building materials include pre-cast concrete, London stock brick, planar blades and fluted panels.

The towers will also be in grey and white, complimenting the current stadium colour and that of the Lillywhites.

The newly-submitted document also said: “Although different in height, the towers share a consistent language, including materials, articulation and design, which accords with the approved design code and design and access statement by [urban planning practice] Allies and Morrison.

“As a result, the development is viewed as a cluster of coherent towers that clearly relate rather than compete with one another.”

What has Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said?

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium first opened in 2019 and is still considered as one of the world’s leading arenas across any sport.

Seen as one of chairman Daniel Levy’s greatest achievements, he also promised further work on the area which also used to house previous stadium White Hart Lane.

“We see regeneration as bringing hope, prosperity and uplift to Tottenham, embracing the local community, building on the character and talents of the area,” he said.

“Our vision is that our neighbourhood is a prosperous mixed community. If you live here you should be able to study, work and play here.

“We want to change the prospects for those that live in this part of London and see our developments, starting with our new stadium but including everything we build in Tottenham as a catalyst for its regeneration.

“That is why we have delivered new, affordable homes, schools, shops and jobs alongside our stadium and embedded our Foundation onto the High Road.

“Unlike any developer, we are not here to develop, take a profit and leave – we are here for the long-term. This is our home.”

Levy also addressed the future of the stadium more recently on Gary Neville’s The Overlap.

“When you come here and you look at this wonderful building and the fact that other clubs now try and copy what we’re doing, that should be a sign that we did something a bit bold and right,” he said.

“This is a symbol of Tottenham Hotspur on the global map, I think it’s fantastic for the local community, the employment that we’re creating as a result of this stadium.

“We’re very conscious that we want this area to improve economically and the activity that this stadium brings is very significant for the locals.”
