Transport for London’s (TfL) wholly owned commercial property company, Places for London, is searching for a new joint venture development partner to work with on redeveloping the Limmo Peninsula in Newham, east London.
Sitting within the Royal Docks and Beckton Riverside Opportunity Area, the site which covers around five hectares of land, with 60om of river frontage, was previously used as a work site for the Elizabeth line. The area now has the potential to deliver up to 1,500 new homes, including affordable housing, alongside a range of improvements for the local community as well as new residents.
The site, says Places for London, could potentially include commercial space which would support the local economy, large areas of publicly accessible open space, and enhancements to the connectivity of the area, such as a new cycle and pedestrian bridge and a new river walkway.
Sustainability will also feature at the heart of any future designs, with the scheme looking to be effectively car-free, but with some blue badge parking spaces.
In addition to the site at Limmo Peninsula, the joint venture partnership will also have the opportunity to potentially develop other sites across east London, helping to deliver thousands of new and much needed homes with close access to public transport.
The launch of this tender forms part of Places for London’s wider plans to help solve some of the capital’s biggest challenges and meet its wider needs, including building new affordable housing, delivering new workspaces, and becoming more sustainable.
