Triathlon Homes, developer of London's East Village (formerly the Olympic Athletes Village), has set to work on transforming the area into a thriving community.
The new neighbourhood will initially deliver 2,818 new homes and apartments. Half of these new properties will be deemed affordable homes.
Elliot Lipton, Director of Triathlon Homes said: “Our vision is to deliver a neighbourhood that provides the very best quality homes and services to its residents and one which fosters a welcoming, inclusive, safe and vibrant community. The East Village is at the heart of the wider transformation of east London.”
It is hoped that the new development will begin to ease the housing shortage in the East End, by providing a modern living space for local residents.
Combining inspiring design by a number of the world’s leading architects, East Village will provide more accessibility, space, stability, security and world-class facilities than any other London residential development.
Ralph Luck, Director of Property at the Olympic Delivery Authority said: “The East Village will become a significant new community within London, surrounded by world-class sports venues, enviable shopping facilities and excellent transport links."
