We ’ re planning to add another eight buildings , comprising 3500 apartments , over the next four years , which we estimate will double our living population .”
As a socially conscious developer , Canary Wharf Group is working closely with Tower Hamlets to provide social housing facilities . “ It ’ s not just high-end properties we ’ re adding , but a mixed portfolio of living spaces ,” Alec says . “ While at one end of the scale we have penthouses in the vicinity of £ 15 million , at the other end , we have genuine social housing in four buildings . However , our social housing is not kept separate from other properties , thereby eliminating any potential tension or hierarchy between tenants .
“ We also offer a scheme where individuals who work on the estate and earn less than a set figure can rent a flat at a reduced rate . We ’ re creating a genuinely mixed-use development , with something for everybody ccemagazine . com 47
