The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has approved plans for a 1.3m sq ft scheme on the Isle of Dogs, E14, which will be anchored by supermarket giant Asda.
The Crossharbour District Centre, a joint venture by Ashbourne Beech and Asda, will see an 11-acre site transformed to provide a 152,000 sq ft supermarket, 158,000 sq ft of further retail, 962,000 sq ft of residential in 850 homes, community spaces, a public square and car parking.
It was designed by architect Broadway Malyan and GVA provided planning advice.
Findlay MacAlpine, managing director of Mason Philips, which is advising Ashbourne Beech, said: “This is a very exciting project for those working and living within London’s Docklands in terms of superior retailing facilities, new public open space and superbly designed, low-density homes in landscaped gardens with unique views across London.”
Asbourne managing director David Newsome added: “Asda and Ashbourne have worked extremely closely with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets over the past few years to identify an exceptional balance of facilities which will not only complement Canary Wharf but offer wider services to the entire Isle of Dogs community”.
