Plans submitted for £3bn Silvertown project

Keystone London and GLA Land & Property have submitted plans to the London Borough of Newham for their £3bn residential-led, mixed-use redevelopment of a 40- acre site in Silvertown. Thameside West, master-planned by Foster + Partners, will comprise 5,000 homes, 200,000 sq ft of industrial space and workspace, and 75,000 sq ft of shops, restaurants and bars. The initial phase, designed by John McAslan & Partners, totals 500,000 sq ft comprising 460 mixed-tenure homes and 35,000 sq ft of workspace on the site of the former Carlsberg Brewery. Keystone chief executive Max James, said: “As one of the last major riverfront locations in London, the site offers a valuable opportunity to create a new community on The Thames with a genuinely sustainable mix of homes and workplaces aimed at a wide range of people living and working in this exciting part of London”. It will join a number of other developments in Silvertown, including Ballymore and Oxley’s 3,385 homes arranged around Millennium Mills, and Traders Quarter at Royal Wharf.
