Areli Developments has secured planning consent for a 54-storey multi-tenure residential development at 77 Marsh Wall in Tower Hamlets.
Designed by Patel Taylor, the scheme will comprise 820 build-to-rent (BTR), serviced apartments, co-living, intermediate tenures and social rented homes on a site currently occupied by an outdated office building.
The development will also feature two major new landscaped areas – the Dockside Garden and the Community Garden – nearly 192 sq m of community space and 430 sq m of retail space. The on-site amenity provision will include co-working areas, a cinema, gym, pool and shared kitchens and lounges.
Rob Tincknell, founder and CEO of Areli Developments, said: “We’re extremely pleased to have secured consent for 77 Marsh Wall, which allows us to move ahead with delivering a scheme that brings together a genuinely broad range of homes that make this development the largest of its kind in the UK, alongside a fully integrated on-site affordable housing offer.
“This consent is the fourth major residential lead planning consent Areli have secured within the last 12 months, taking the total amount of units to just under 3,000. This approval reflects Areli Development’s long-term commitment to investing in places and delivering developments that are shaped by diversity, inclusion and community. We look forward to continuing to work with Tower Hamlets as the project progresses.”
Pankaj Patel MBE, director at Patel Taylor, added: “The design of 77 Marsh Wall reflects our vision of supporting social interaction between residents, neighbours and visitors, fostering an inclusive and balanced community by interweaving traditional and contemporary ways of living.
“In celebration of the dockside location, the design captures the crystalline quality of light on water and reflects the changing quality of light throughout the day. Our proposal will stand as a positive addition to the architectural skyline of the Isle of Dogs, marking the intersection of South Dock and Millwall Cutting and providing long-term placemaking benefits in the heart of the docks.”
