Burdett Road, Limehouse

H2O acquired this derelict former print works site in 2005, gaining planning permission for a striking residential and commercial scheme of 90 flats and 10,000 sq ft of offices.

H2O Role:

• H2O worked in partnership with the private landowner to maximise site value through the planning process.  
• At the grant of planning permission the site was sold to a third party developer releasing land value and overage for the landowner.

Scheme & Canal Wins:

• H2O retained access rights for Canal & River Trust to install a pontoon as a potential future mooring site.
• A new access to the canal was created from Burdett Road which will form the start of a new waterway walk to the north of the canal.
• Ground floor active uses to enliven the canal.
