This development was a phased regeneration project, replacing a derelict commercial site with a blend of residential apartments and small retail/commerical units. The primary site is located between the DLR and Violet Road, with a boundary on the Limehouse Cut Canal.

Phase one of the site delivered 111 low-cost apartments for rent and shared ownership, developed in association with a local housing provider, with an independent energy centre, water and electricity infrastructure.

The second phase was a more significant scheme with a basement car park, energy centre, 480 apartments and commercial units for independent occupancy.

Key Features:

• Low energy C.H.P. Communal heating system
  
• Thermal interface units for on-demand heating and hot water generation
  
• “Smart” metering of energy use
  
• Combined smoke extraction and environmental extract to communal areas
  
• Flexible door entry and security systems
  
• Integration of sub-station into building design
  
• Early dialogue with Statutory Authorities to identify impact of development.
