The Benefits
The proposals will help to deliver a unique, mixed and vibrant community within Haggerston that will make full, effective use of the space on offer. The scheme has been carefully crafted to support more residents, more jobs and greater activity than a conventional mixed-use scheme.
The benefits include:
Significant contribution to Hackney’s housing targets
An average of 140 construction jobs over the two-year construction period
250 job opportunities provided directly on-site once the construction is complete
Estimated contribution to the local economy of £1.2m each year
A 10% increase in light industrial floorspace within the high demand Kingsland Road Priority Employment Area
Deliver roughly one third of Hackney’s office floorspace targets, a significant contribution for one scheme
