Ballymore seeks to add 3,680 homes at Royal Docks

The Thames Road and Knights Road developments will deliver 3,684 new homes and extend Ballymore’s existing Royal Wharf community in E16, it announced on social media.  

Knights Road:
– 1,667 homes (334 affordable units)
– 4,000 sqm of light industrial and flexible workspace

Thames Road:
– 1,658 homes (281 affordable units)
– 359 co-living suites 

Thames Road will also have a new primary school, light industrial workspace, parkland, retail and community spaces. 

Both projects include open green spaces, enhanced connectivity, and access to the riverfront. 

John Mulryan, managing director, Ballymore, said: “I’m incredibly proud of the quality of design and future thinking that has gone into these two proposals for the Royal Docks.   

“We’ve been deeply committed to this part of London for several decades, and it’s a gift to be able to expand upon the success of Royal Wharf so that we can continue to support the neighbourhood’s growth and build upon its character.” 

Ballymore and real estate operator Hammerson recently received approval for two planning applications relating to the £1 billion redevelopment of Bishopsgate Goodsyard, in Shoreditch, London. 

The mayor of London granted planning permission for the total overhaul of The Goodsyard in 2022, bringing new residential and commercial space to the 4.5-hectare site.   

Once complete, the redeveloped Goodsyard will feature:  

• Up to 500 new homes (50 per cent “affordable”)  

• 1.4 million sq. ft of workspace  

• A 2.6-acre public park  

• Restaurants, retail and leisure spaces  

• Two new cultural spaces – one on Brick Lane, the other in Braithwaite Arches 

Now, one of the main commercial buildings, which will be above Shoreditch station, has achieved detailed design approval shortly after the restoration of historic buildings on Sclater Street was also green lit.
