Newham green-lights Stratford Island project

5th February 2016

Newham Council has granted detailed planning permission to Blackstone Real Estate Partners and Catalyst Capital for their new “Stratford Island” project. The east London development will see two tower blocks built in the Stratford Centre area, one of 42 storeys, the other of 25, creating 600 new homes, with 24,800 sq ft of leisure space and restaurants alongside 12,500 sq ft of offices, as well as a new public square and amenity space, and children’s play area. The old shopping centre itself will also be revamped. Construction is now expected to begin this year, with completion scheduled for 2018.
