Singaporean developer Oxley Holdings and Ballymore have submitted plans to build 764 flats at Deanston Wharf, E16.
The Glenn Howells-designed scheme consists of 590 flats for private sale and 174 affordable homes.
Building heights range from nine to 19 storeys.
The 5.3-acre site is part of an increasingly large swathe of development along the banks of the Thames to the south of Royal Victoria Dock.
Rolfe Judd is advising Oxley on planning.
