}}Highbury Square is an apartment complex in Highbury, London. It was built from Arsenal Stadium, the home stadium of Arsenal F.C. until 2006 when they moved to the newly built Emirates Stadium nearby.[1]

History

Arsenal Stadium was originally constructed in 1913, designed by Archibald Leitch in the Art Deco style.[2] It remained the home of Arsenal for 93 years until 2006, when they moved into the new Emirates Stadium.

Redevelopment

The North Bank and Clock End were demolished while the older Grade II listed buildings of the East and West Stands remained as part of the development.[3] The pitch was redeveloped into gardens.[4] Several parts of Arsenal Stadium were retained including the marble halls, the bust of Herbert Chapman and the players' tunnel.[5] It was opened officially in 2009,[6] by Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger.[7]

Designed by Allies and Morrison, the renovation of the complex has been praised by critics for creating "a feeling of openness and nature" while also providing "protection and privacy".[8] In 2009, Highbury Square's design won the MIPIM Special Jury Award.[9]

Property sales

Highbury Square has 650 flats. Former Arsenal player Robert Pires owned one of the flats which was sold in 2015 by Century21 Estate Agents.[10] Although it houses private residences, Highbury Square has a public footpath through it. Drainage issues in 2010 initially prevented this footpath from being opened, which led to it being called a "gated community" by local councillors.[11]

In 2009, Arsenal sold 150 apartments in Highbury Square to London & Stamford Property at a 20 per cent discount to market value because several buyers failed to complete apartment purchases.[12] Arsenal cleared their debt on Highbury Square by 2010.[13]
