“Mini-Manhattan” on the Lea

26th August 2016

EcoWorld Ballymore has put 100 new apartments on the market at its London City Island development on the Leamouth Peninsula. Dubbed a “Mini Manhattan”, the 12-acre site on former marshland where the Lea flows into the Thames will eventually host 1,700 apartments. The homes will be connected to Canning Town by a new 260ft footbridge over the Lea, offering easy access to the Jubilee Line and DLR. Residents will also have a number of restaurants, shops, creative hubs and al fresco spaces to enjoy. The first homes are due to be completed this year; prices begin at £405,000 for a one-bedroom home, going up to £760,000 for the larger, four-bedroom properties.
