A new mixed use development for Cambridge Heath, Tower Hamlets

Telford Homes recently confirmed they have exchanged contracts for the purchase of the former London Electricity Board building on Cambridge Heath Road, Tower Hamlets. They will pay £30.2 million for it and plan to redevelop the site to build affordable homes.

The development of the site will be great news for residents in the area and those interested in purchasing new investment properties in Tower Hamlets. The project fits with the developer’s aim to invest in non-prime areas of London where supply is lagging behind the demand for homes. Tower Hamlets ticks this box and the site is in a great location with good transport links.

It will be exciting to find out more about the specifics of the project in the near future. Telford Homes is a property developer specialising in mixed use developments so it is no surprise that this site will have both new homes and commercial space. It is expected that around £95 million will be invested in the latter.

Work on the site is expected to start in 2018 if all goes well with planning permissions. Optimistically this would mean that the homes and commercial space would become ready for habitation by 2021.

As mentioned earlier the site is in a fantastic location, close to the centre of Cambridge Heath. The transport links are good in the area, with an Overground station offering connections to the City and other parts of the capital. There are plenty of amenities in the area and two parks in close proximity offering outdoor spaces. All of these factors could make the properties very popular.
