"The development, which still needs final sign-off by the Mayor of London, will deliver a total of 1,522 new homes. The first phase of development will see the construction of 761 homes across five tower blocks. The landmark tower will be redeveloped and built on to become the tallest block on the site reaching 26 storeys and holding 239 flats."
"Some 612 of the 761 homes scheduled for the first phase will be sold on the private market, with 19 per cent available for rent while 116 will be available for social rent, with 33 marketed for intermediate rent - a type of affordable housing."
"Two linked buildings reaching 24 and 8 storeys will be dedicated to student accommodation for 506 people. The plans consist of 96 studios and 410 cluster rooms whereby students share a communal living space. Alongside the student accommodation, a co-living block is also to be built providing 296 units in a 21-storey building."

Housing comprises 225 one-bedroom, 379 two-bedroom, 149 three-bedroom, and 8 four-bedroom flats. Of 761 first-phase homes, 612 will be privately sold, with 19% available for rent and 116 for social rent. Additionally, 506 student accommodation spaces and 296 co-living units will be provided. The development includes 28,611 sqm of employment and educational space, supporting 455-635 full-time jobs.
