The scheme compromises a mixed use development of 169 waterside apartments, regional offices for One Housing Group – bringing a major housing provider back into Tower Hamlets – and a canalside cafe, with the residential accommodation in a mix of one to three bedroom single level and duplex apartments.
BPPs early involvement in the design development resulted in an initially complicated design-led scheme being completed on budget and within programme.
The scheme extends nearby Meath Gardens to link up with Mile End Park, which is directly opposite the scheme on the east side of the canal, through the provision of a new footbridge providing pedestrian links to Mile End tube station and the canal tow path.
