Developers have drawn up plans to convert Riverside House, an office block in Woolwich, SE18, into a 17-storey purpose-built student accommodation scheme and hotel.
Millenium Development Projects has filed an environmental impact assessment with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, which sets out proposals for 335 PBSA bedrooms and a 265-bed hotel. The hotel element would consist of six storeys.
A 14-storey office block formerly occupied by Greenwich Council is located on the site, and is being temporarily used as artist studios, operated by Set Space.
The developer seeks to retain the “main structure” of that 14-storey building in its plans, according to documents lodged with the council.
Millenium Developments previously filed plans to convert Riverside House into 209 homes in 2021. Before that, the developer gained consent for 199 homes at the site in 2019.
The site was once owned by now-defunct micro-flat developer Inspired Homes. An administrator’s report in 2021 showed that the development changed hands for £6m ahead of Inspired Homes’ collapse two years prior.
