Trilogy Property and LaSalle Investment Management have appointed a team to transform East India Dock, E14.
Architects Studio RHE, branding and graphic designer Tom Hingston, and brand and marketing strategists Simon Turnbull and Andrew Hale have been tasked with reinvigorating the 600,000 sq ft office scheme.
The team will develop a masterplan for affordable office space to cater for start-ups and growing companies, particularly in the creative industries, as an alternative to places like Shoreditch.
Work is currently underway to create a 10,000 sq ft co-working space in the 250,000 sq ft Anchorage House.
Richard Hywel Evans of Studio RHE said: “East India Dock will offer a vibrant work environment with animated landscapes. A new commercial ‘street’ will offer a variety of bars, cafés and galleries which all play a role as part of the modern workspace.”
A planning application for the masterplan is expected to be submitted to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets later this year.
