What does Highbury, Arsenal's former football field, do now?

Arsenal Football Club was founded in 1886, but it was not until 19 13 that it moved to Highbury Stadium in north London as its home. Because the stadium is located in a residential area, it is very difficult to expand, so the club announced the construction of a new stadium in June1999165438+10, and chose ashburton near Highbury for construction. The estimated cost is 357 million pounds, and the stadium covers an area of 17 acre, which can accommodate 60,000 spectators. After the stadium is opened, it is estimated that an average of 1, 140000 people watch the game every season (Highbury has an average of 722795 people every season). The stadium has 150 VIP boxes (48 in Highbury) and 250 wheelchair seats for the disabled. The stadium has 4 1 camera, 2 15 press seats and 1 1,000 square meters of club merchandise store, but the new stadium will not be expanded.

Highbury Stadium has now been transformed into a garden club. Lush trees and patchwork apartments have turned the former Highbury Stadium into a warm and peaceful living area.

In this place that witnessed Arsenal's 93-year glorious history, the Planning Bureau transformed it into a new community integrating leisure community, garden, square and apartment. More people will move here in the future, whether it is a well-equipped community or a wide green belt, it will provide excellent services for residents.

The famous Arsenal Stadium will be renamed "Highbury Sports Plaza", which consists of 765,438+065,438+0 high-grade duplex apartment buildings with 65,438+0-3 bedrooms. The famous lobby on the second floor of the East corner will be renovated in the form of marble art, while the west corner will be preserved. The new apartment designed in modern style will be located in the north and south corners of the stadium, which will be in harmony with the east and west corners as a whole.

In order to commemorate the original rectangular football platform, the interior of the apartment will face the central garden square, the focus center of the past stadium.

The garden square covering an area of two acres will become the largest private garden square in this area. To commemorate the front yard, the garden will be separated by a stone path along the chalk line, and the price will start from 295,000.
