Plans for residential development in Hackney to create 143 new homes

Plans for a new residential development in London have been approved to start work.

The project, which will be at Queen’s Yard in Hackney, is a collaboration between Jestico + Whiles and Stockwool, and will be a residential-led mixed-use development.

The plans have been approved by the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), and will create a pedestrian-focused, cycle-friendly living and working environment.

The development will deliver 143 Build-to-Rent homes, 2,932 sq. m modern flexible workspace and retail / café / restaurant / bar space, and secures a permanent site for the long term future of the Yard Theatre and its Hub67 community centre.

David Pearl of Hatton Garden Properties commented: “We are delighted that we have helped create a lasting genuinely mixed-use legacy at the heart of Hackney Wick.

“As a major supporter of the arts I am pleased that we have helped secure a permanent site for the Yard Theatre.”

Chris Shaw, CEO of Shaw Corporation added: “Through a robust engagement process, we have created a scheme that retains the best parts of Queen’s Yard and genuinely enhances this with a mix of uses and improved public realm, for local residents, businesses and visitors.”

Alex Gordon, associate director at Jestico + Whiles, added: “We are extremely pleased that Queen’s Yard has received planning consent – the decision represents a major step forward for the on-going regeneration of this unique area.

“The whole team has worked closely and collaboratively on this vibrant mixed-use scheme which will deliver sustainable new homes and flexible employment space on this key development site within the Hackney Wick Central Masterplan.

“We look forward to the on-set of the project delivery phase.”
