Hallsville Quarter

London Borough of Newham has approved plans for Phase 4 of the Hallsville Quarter development masterplan.

Bouygues UK will be the main contractor with Linkcity as the developer.

Phase 4 includes a new mixed-use city block designed by PRP architects, which includes 377 purpose-built student accommodation rooms, a wide range of student amenity spaces including a first-floor garden and 7th-floor roof terrace and 487m2 of new ground floor, flexible commercial floorspace and landscaped public realm. Construction is expected to start late in 2023.

Montagu Evans has been providing guidance to Linkcity for the final phase of the Hallsville Quarter Masterplan. This phase will complete the new town centre and is expected to be completed by Summer 2025.

In total the Hallsville Quarter development will provide over 1,100 new homes, a new hotel, up to 30,000m2 of leisure, work and retail space with a new art-house style cinema, and community facilities including a new public health centre next to Canning Town station.

The development includes new public spaces, pedestrian links, cyclist provisions and secure parking spaces.

Bouygues UK, in collaboration with Linkcity and One Housing Group, celebrated the completion of the structure of the build at Phase 3 of Hallsville Quarter with a topping-out ceremony on Wednesday, August 17th.

The £240m (GDV) Hallsville Quarter scheme is expected to complete in 2024.

Phase 3 includes:
- 278 private rental homes situated across two blocks owned by Grainger, including 2,400m2 commercial space within the blocks
- 245 shared ownership (including 10 shared equity)
- 50 extra care
- 47 affordable rent (including 10 London affordable rent)
- 6,800m2 of commercial space owned by Linkcity which it intends to let and/or sell to a commercial investor.

This phase also includes an integrated health centre under an innovative new model with local health partners, 1,125m2 of business accommodation, a new basement car park for 143 vehicles, and new high-quality public spaces, including fountains and play areas.

Gerald Farque, Bouygues UK Managing Director commented: “It’s wonderful to be here to celebrate reaching this important milestone at Hallsville Quarter Phase 3, one of the most significant town centre regeneration projects. I am particularly proud of our in-house civil works teams who have delivered, as with previous phases, the reinforced concrete frame. I would also like to congratulate the project team on their commitment to social value, in particular supporting local labour at each phase of this regeneration scheme.”

Phillippa Prongué, Linkcity Managing Director added: “For over 10 years, Bouygues UK and Linkcity have been working closely with the London Borough of Newham to deliver the regeneration of Canning Town. It’s great to be here to celebrate reaching this stage of the build in a project which will transform this area of east London and help create a thriving centre. Congratulations to everyone involved in reaching this point.”

Robert Marcantoni, Group Director of Development for One Housing (Part of Riverside) said: “One Housing are delighted to partner with Linkcity and Bouygues UK to provide over 300 much needed social homes within one of our key London boroughs. This milestone is a fantastic achievement and builds on the existing homes we have within this community. In this housing and cost of living crisis this 3rd Phase of Hallsville Quarter provides much needed affordable homes and delivers a 50 unit Extra Care Scheme where we will be providing support and personal care services to adults over 55 years old. Following the recent off-plan launch of our Shared Ownership homes, we have already had great interest and feedback and we look forward to the handover of these great affordable homes.”
