The Vision

“St Andrew’s is a fantastic example of how sustainable, affordable housing can act as a benchmark for regeneration across an entire area. The LDA will remain in close contact with developers, retaining the final sign off on the designs for the site, in order to ensure the scheme provides the local community with homes that are well designed, of high quality and environmentally friendly”.
Fiona Duncan, Director of Infrastructure, Development and Delivery, LDA

“St Andrew’s is a terrific opportunity to really improve the environment and revitalise the community and wider area. High-quality design will be crucial and we want to work with the local community and Tower Hamlets Council to deliver a landmark scheme that does justice to a superb site in an area that has been neglected for too long”.
Alastair Baird, Managing Director, Barratt Homes East London and Thames Gateway

“St Andrew’s is a demonstration of our intent to invest in quality affordable accommodation for families in East London. It will act as an exemplar to other developers who share our commitment to raise standards across the Thames Gateway and deliver the Olympic legacy that local people expect”.
Peter Andrews, Chief Executive, London Thames Gateway Development Corporation

“Old Ford Housing Association, Circle Anglia’s group partners in Bow, has significant experience in this area, having just completed a £100m award winning regeneration investment project locally. Old Ford’s detailed knowledge of the area, its people and their needs is second to none, and the organisation is delighted to have this opportunity to provide up to another 450 affordable homes for the Bow community”.
Howard Hughes, Development Director, ­Circle Anglia

"Working in partnership is key to creating sustainable and successful homes and communities. As a result of the hard work done to date on selecting the developers and architects for St Andrew’s, work can now begin on master-planning the regeneration of the site. The Corporation looks forward to continuing to be involved in this exciting project, which will transform the area and provide much needed new affordable homes and services for the local community".
