Eight new penthouses are set to rise in Camden’s Primrose Hill, sparking fierce local backlash despite council approval. Developers plan single-story extensions on five existing blocks, adding eight luxury homes—but residents fear soaring service charges, construction chaos, and structural risks. The pushback isn’t new: a 1996 inspector called the buildings “too dominant,” and a 2010 application was blocked after thousands signed petitions. Though approved last year, the project faced another delay when underground work plans were never discussed with neighbors. Council insists the trade-offs—$500K for affordable housing and building upgrades—justify the move, citing rising housing demand in Camden.
