The 'Glasshouse Gardens' scheme includes the construction of a 30-storey building and a 17-storey building to comprise 333 new flats. The 1.24 hectare development site forms part of the International Quarter masterplan, which was granted planning consent in 2011.
“Glasshouse Gardens will offer residents the buzz and excitement of an east London lifestyle, amongst the tranquillity and green spaces of the Olympic Park," said Lend Lease project director Kristy Lansdown according to a report by CoStar.
“We have worked closely with the London Borough of Newham and the London Legacy Development Corporation during the design process as well as utilising Lend Lease’s global expertise in delivering benchmark sustainable residential developments," Landsdown said.
London and Continental Railways chief executive David Joy said it was "fantastic to see such progress". "Glasshouse Gardens at The International Quarter is such an exciting prospect. It will be the first opportunity for people to buy a home in this new part of London and be a part of the Olympic legacy. With each new milestone, we are seeing a new neighbourhood come to life,” he said.
