Canary Wharf Group<\/a> (CWG) has completed the delivery of 115 new council homes as part of the housing development in Poplar<\/h2>\n

Consisting of three buildings ranging from four to six storeys, these 115 residential flats have been delivered as part of John Biggs, Mayor of Tower Hamlets commitment to deliver 2,000 new council homes across the borough.<\/p>\n

The completed development delivered by CWG also includes 10 wheelchair adaptable units funded by Tower Hamlets Council<\/a>, 4 disabled parking spaces, as well as landscape improvements within a secure central courtyard providing cycle storage and a communal garden for residents.<\/p>\n

Planning permission<\/a> for Barchester Street was granted in 2015 for the demolition of the existing warehouse, ancillary structures, and part demolition of the \u2018saw-tooth\u2019 factory building retaining three walls of the facade.<\/p>\n

In March 2020, Tower Hamlets Council entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire the freehold interest (at practical completion) of the 115 social rented units with Canary Wharf Group.<\/p>\n

These units comprise of 47 one-bedroom apartments, 41 two-bedroom apartments, 18 three-bedroom apartments and 9 four-bedroom apartments.<\/p>\n

Commitment to deliver social housing<\/h3>\n

John Biggs, Mayor of Tower Hamlets, said:\u00a0\u201cThe completion of the Barchester Street development provides more high-quality social housing to people who are currently in overcrowded or unsuitable accommodation and will transform resident\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese 115 flats at genuinely affordable council rents bring us another step closer in reaching our commitment to deliver 2,000 council homes in Tower Hamlets<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shobi Khan, chief executive officer of Canary Wharf Group, said:\u00a0\u201cWe are proud to meet our commitment to deliver social housing on schedule, providing these 115 new apartments for local families.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn total, of the Mayor\u2019s commitment to deliver 2,000 new council homes in the Borough, Canary Wharf Group has now delivered 476 units for social or affordable rent, nearly a quarter of all the new affordable housing.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Barchester Street, we have designed and built an exceptional building for London Borough of Tower Hamlets and this has been a good example of the Borough and a developer working together to deliver a great project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is particularly good to be able to offer large apartments including ground floor wheelchair accessible units, and beautiful architecture which celebrates the history of the site.\u201d<\/p>\n
