Location:
LU2ON is a high specification, mixed-use development and is arguably Luton’s premier residential lead scheme. It is located on Kimpton Road in Luton (on the former Vauxhall car manufacturing site), which comprises a mixture of residential and commercial real estate located between Luton town centre and London Luton Airport.
The scheme is prominently and strategically positioned opposite the new Luton DART station, which opened to the public in March 2023 providing direct travel to London Luton Airport within c. 4 minutes. Luton Parkway railway station is also opposite and provides direct access to London St Pancras within c. 23 minutes. The Hampton by Hilton hotel is just across the road.
Various arterial routes are easily accessible including the M1 (Junction 10), A505 to Hitchin and A6 to Bedford.
This development sits in a part of Luton that has seen substantial financial injection/development with lots more potential. This includes not only the airport expansion, but the DART station as above and 1.1m sq ft of industrial/logistics space. This proposed regeneration will see higher footfall and traffic within the area. LBC believe the construction of a ‘corridor’(between the town centre, past the proposed Luton Town Football Club stadium, up Kimpton Road, to the airport and beyond) will be a key feature for the town for years to come.
