Asda today became the latest supermarket to enter the London property market after unveiling plans for a huge 1500 home development in Park Royal. The plans, which were put together in partnership with housebuilder Barratt, will feature a series of high-rise tower blocks sat on top of a new 60,000 square foot flagship Asda Superstore and up to 400 car parking spaces.
