Local families are now benefitting from a brand new mixed scheme of rented and shared-ownership homes developed by Family Mosaic in partnership with Islington Council.

The six-storey block of 16 flats at Globe Court, N4, will provide accommodation for 37 people when fully occupied and is located minutes from Arsenal's landmark Emirates Stadium and Sobell Sports Centres.

The Globe site on Tollington Road, near the Emirates Stadium - once the home of The Globe public house - had been boarded up for three years prior to its purchase by Family Mosaic.  It had also been squatted by drug users and  raided several times by the Police.

Jo Murphy says: 

"Globe Court is a fantastic example of how well  Family Mosaic worked with Islington Council and our development partners to provide high quality, affordable accommodation. This previously derelict site, a target for vandals and drug users, is now an attractive place to live" .

14 of the flats are for rent - including two for wheelchair use on the ground floor - and two are shared ownership.
