Ballymore’s Cuba Street Development Plans Secured

6/6/23

Property developer Ballymore has secured planning permission (subject to a section 106 agreement) to construct a dynamic mixed-use development in London’s Docklands. The parkside development will offer 421 high-quality private and affordable homes, from studios to four-bedroom residences.

The plan includes a gym, cycle storage, communal spaces, and a sky lounge. There will also be 100sqm of retail space on the ground floor. A new park will provide the largest open public space since the construction of Jubilee Park. The new ‘Cuba Park’ will feature a stunning garden-style green space inspired by natural elements of the surrounding environment.

Designed by architect Morris + Company, the building will boast a unique, sculptural look, with aluminium facades and a projected red canopy to highlight entrance points. The design will maximise the site’s enviable views and natural light - creating a distinctive feel while remaining sympathetic to the local environment.

Ballymore will source high-performance, sustainable materials, while highly energy-efficient systems, including air source heat pumps, will maximise carbon reductions.

Simon Ryan, Projects Director, said: “We are incredibly excited to see progress around our Cuba Street application. Our plans – if fully approved will enable us to create a striking new building that is distinctive from and complementary to - the existing area. It will create a substantial number of much-needed new homes and bring significant improvements to the surrounding public realm, including half of the site providing a large new garden square for residents and locals to enjoy.”
