Sir Stuart's Silvertown project

19th December 2014

The Evening Standard's Chris Blackhurst meets Sir Stuart Lipton at Silvertown, one of the last great former industrial sites in London, and where Sir Stuart will develop his latest project. Silvertown will cost at least £1.5bn to build and take up to ten years to complete. The 7m sq ft project aims to build 3,000 new homes and create more than 21,000 jobs. Sir Stuart says he has linked up with Rupert Clarke, the former chief of fund manager Hermes, and Peter Rogers, brother of Lord Rogers, to form Lipton Rogers: “Rupert manages the money, Peter is the builder, I’m the developer — we’re a proper team”, he says.
