Ballymore and Hammerson are working together to deliver the redevelopment of Bishopsgate Goodsyard (The Goodsyard).

In March 2022, the Mayor of London granted planning permission for the comprehensive redevelopment of The Goodsyard, which will see new homes, retail and leisure, office space and a new park built on the 4.5 hectare site. The masterplan is divided into 11 plots, which will be delivered in stages over the next decade.

    The entire Goodsyard site will deliver:

    • Up to 500 new homes, including 50% affordable, with a focus on family homes.
    • 4 million sq ft of office space, including one of the largest offers of affordable workspace for businesses in area. 
    • A new 2.6 acre public park.
    • New restaurants, retail and leisure spaces.
    • Two new cultural spaces – one destination building on Brick Lane and one exhibition space within the historic Braithwaite Arches.
    • 11,000 new jobs during construction and after completion.
    • 150 apprenticeships.

      New London Architecture Tour

      New London Architecure (NLA) held a tour at The Goodsyard, hosted by the Joint Venture of Ballymore and Hammerson, and heritage specialist and project architect Chris Dyson. The tour gave NLA members  a behind the scenes look at the new soon-to-be-reimagined Braithwaite arches.  

      The plans see much of the site’s heritage retained, with the listed Braithwaite Viaduct arches to be opened up to the public and the Oriel Gate restored to become the ‘gateway’ entrance to the site from Shoreditch High Street.

      Delivering The Goodsyard

      The Joint Venture of Ballymore and Hammerson have received approval on two Reserved Matters Applications (RMA) from the Greater London Authority (GLA). One of the main commercial buildings, to be located above Shoreditch station, has achieved detailed design approval shortly after another approval for the restoration of historic buildings on Sclater Street.

      Designed by Gensler and Buckley Gray Yeoman, the RMA for Office Building 1 marks the next stage in the realisation of the approved scheme. It will provide 36,000 sq m of best-in-class workspace, including affordable space for small and medium sized businesses.

      The Sclater Street RMA, designed by Chris Dyson Architects, includes the restoration of five derelict historic buildings on Sclater Street to bring them back into use.

      The host of the Be-Spoke podcast, Adriana Pace Kent is joined in this edition of the podcast by Chris Dyson, one of The Goodsyard’s lead architects and Project Director at Ballymore, who has played a pivotal role in reimagining the area for years to come.
