The redevelopment of Paradise Circus will create a new green and sustainable neighbourhood right in the heart of the city.

This will provide genuine opportunities for:

  • A whole site energy plan to minimise energy demand
  • High efficiency, low energy lighting in all public spaces and within buildings
  • Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDs) and rain water harvesting
  • Latest water control technologies to reduce demand
  • BREEAM 'Excellent' rated buildings
  • Brown and green roofs to create new habitat opportunities
  • Integrated waste and recycling
  • Sustainable construction plan to minimise and recycle the majority of waste in demolition and construction
  • Green travel planning
  • Linking into the city’s existing Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system
  • Argent's new Energy Centre at King's Cross Central Argent's new Energy Centre at King's Cross Central
