Royal Albert Dock: A vibrant new mixed-use employment hub and residential development
Royal Albert Dock: A vibrant new mixed-use employment hub and residential development
Royal Albert Dock is one of London’s most significant regeneration opportunities, offering up to 400,000 sqm of new development potential across a 30 acre site. This unique Site is distinguished not only by its scale, but also the opportunity to curate a vibrant new mixed-use neighbourhood at the heart of London’s move Eastwards. The Site is set within a dynamic area of change and growth, home to significant civic infrastructure, cultural icons, global connectors and new residential development. Its strategic location is enabled through high quality transport infrastructure and a local network of business and educational institutions. A first phase of development was completed in April 2019 (c. 47,000 sqm) under a previous Development Agreement. Originally focussed on office uses these buildings are now subject to a change of use application being marketed as ‘RAD London’. This application, by DPK, focuses on student accommodation as part of a wider educational campus (set to open in late 2026, subject to planning permission), including the potential for additional flexible office, research, development, health and educational uses.

Silvertown: A new town surrounded by water
Silvertown: A new town surrounded by water
One of the most distinctive and historic parts of the Royal Docks, Silvertown is on the cusp of revival as a new waterside location for London. The Silvertown regeneration project, led by Lendlease and Starwood Capital, will provide a significant number of offices and workspaces, with c 6,500 homes, a significant proportion being affordable. This 50-acre site around Pontoon Dock is home to the historic Millennium Mills, an iconic 20th century flour mill, and the distinctive Grade II-listed Silo D, both of which will be restored as part of the development. These buildings have featured in many films, television shows and music videos. We are bringing new life to this impressive place by creating a high-quality, mixed-use destination across six distinctive areas. Silvertown will have a total of 7 million sq ft of residential and commercial space, public parks and improved access to the water including the new Silvertown Bridge.

Albert Island: A modern, sustainable industrial and maritime hub
Albert Island: A modern, sustainable industrial and maritime hub
Albert Island takes the Royal Docks’ maritime heritage into the future with mixed- use industrial, commercial boatyard and marina – this will be the first new shipyard on the Thames for over a century. Life on the water will be central to this new development, built with sustainability at its core. Albert Island will also be a hub for engineering, logistics and infrastructure, bringing this area of the Royal Docks into the spotlight. Located at the eastern entrance to the Royal Docks, between the Thames and Royal Albert Basin, Albert Island is close to London City Airport, major rail, river and road networks, and the regeneration of the 25-acre site will maximise the potential of these transport links. Albert Island will also draw on its proximity to the University of East London and the London Design & Engineering University Technical College, in order to promote enterprise and building skills.

Royal Eden Docks: The green heart of a vibrant city
Royal Eden Docks: The green heart of a vibrant city
Sitting less than 100 metres from the water’s edge, homes are set across two buildings, framing two garden squares. Outdoor living is at the heart of this place. A quarter of the space is dedicated to communal green areas — the equivalent of 20 tennis courts. At ground level, you’ll find landscaped gardens; on the roof, a running track; connecting you to the station, a new street. All is enriched with trees and ornamental shrub planting that would have been native to the area in a bygone era.

Brunel Street Works sits on a previously disused site owned by the Greater London Authority.

This development on Silvertown Way is delivered by a joint venture between Vistry Partnerships and Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing. Brunel Street Works is ideally located close to the amenities of Royal Victoria Dock – the new home of the Mayor of London and London Assembly – with cafes and restaurants, the cable car, and the dockside beach with swimming and paddleboarding.
