As previously reported, the west London club is planning to relocate from its current Griffin Park stadium to a new stadium on a brownfield site at nearby Lionel Road South, between Kew Bridge station and the elevated M4 motorway close to Chiswick roundabout.
Planning for the stadium was granted by Hounslow council last month, although it remains subject to referral to the Mayor of London and Secretary of State for Communities & Local Government and the conclusion of a Section 106 agreement.
Willmott Dixon will build blocks of flats both alongside the new stadium and on the site of the current stadium.
Willmott Dixon Regen divisional chief executive Andrew Telfer said: “We’re delighted that Brentford Football Club has chosen us as preferred bidder and are looking forward to working with the club to take forward these exciting plans that will deliver a fantastic new stadium and homes in a superb and desirable location close to good transport links.
“Willmott Dixon also shares a strong commitment with Brentford FC that our work should enhance the surrounding community. Alongside a new purpose-built home for the club, these proposals will provide facilities to benefit the wider community, attract further inward investment to create business and job opportunities and enhance the area as an attractive place to live.”
