Silvertown

Project vision
Silvertown Mills, docks, water and broad horizons reinvented as a 27-acre vibrant heart for the Royal Docks and new destination for London. A transformation that will see the Millennium Mills restored, 1.8 million sq ft of nextgeneration business workspace, over 6,000 new homes for every stage of life, and new space for cultural and community events.
A new town centre with shops, restaurants, leisure, bars and cafes will bring the Royal Docks together, while activities in and on the dock will transform London’s relationship with its water and promote healthy active lifestyles.
Coming back to life thanks to a unique partnership of local people, the public sector, Starwood Capital and experienced cityshaping specialists Lendlease, Silvertown is the hero of London’s most important regeneration story.
Project outcome
The project will create a place that is innovative and environmentally sustainable, with long-term benefits for the local community. It will ensure 25% of the targeted construction jobs are filled by Newham residents, and target 40% of jobs on the completed project to local Newham people.
The site will also restore two iconic heritage buildings to retain the area’s rich industrial heritage and unique identity - the Millennium Mills building, a former flour mill dating from 1906, and Silo D, a Grade II listed 1920s reinforced concrete grain silo. Sustainability is built in, and the project aims to achieve BREEAM Certification for all non-residential properties, and 3-Star Home Quality Mark for all its homes.
Project highlights
The Royal Docks has always been a place for everyone. Working, living, and trading, it’s a mix that’s shaped the Silvertown character. This is its next chapter, a new heart and inclusive neighbourhood where people can live well, better connected to the water and with each other.
Silvertown is at the heart of the regeneration of the Royal Docks, London's only Enterprise Zone.
We will build on the industrious past of the Royal Docks to incubate local talent, grow local jobs and attract those who work hard.
