The residential development – named Glasshouse Gardens – will have more than 300 apartments. Completion is set for 2016.
Glasshouse Gardens forms part of The International Quarter, a joint venture between Lend Lease and LCR to deliver a £1.3bn commercial and residential development in Stratford.
Lend Lease project director Kristy Lansdown said: “Glasshouse Gardens will offer residents a unique opportunity to live amongst, and make use of, some of the world’s most elite sporting facilities where the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games were held. Residents will be able to enjoy spectacular views of the London skyline and will benefit from the extensive transport network put in place for the London 2012 Olympic Games.”
Glasshouse Gardens will form part of a pipeline of more than 3,500 new homes that Lend Lease is building in central London. Its £1.5bn Elephant & Castle regeneration project will deliver 3,000 news homes and 160,000 sq ft of retail space as well as commercial and leisure space over the next 10 years. Lend Lease also won planning permission last year for two new sites at Battersea comprising 200 units at Cobalt Place and Victoria Drive respectively.
