Bishopsgate Goodsyard is one of the most exciting redevelopment sites in London today.
It will bring vitality to the currently derelict goods depot site that has lain idle since 1964, with a complementary mix of independent traders, new startups and international brands to the neighbourhood, along with a brand new park and 500 new homes.
“The Goodsyard site will be the jewel in the crown of Shoreditch. We bought this site almost 20 years ago when this area was a very different place. As the last opportunity for significant growth in Shoreditch, the time has come for what will be a great boost to the local area and London. The Goodsyard will be an exemplary neighbourhood, fit for a revived London.
Sean Mulryan, Chairman and Group Chief Executive, Ballymore
“The Goodsyard is one of the last undeveloped sites of scale in central London which has the potential to lead the way in terms of placemaking and holistic regeneration.”
Harry Badham, Chief Development and Asset Repositioning Officer, Hammerson
The project in depth
New homes
The plans deliver 500 new homes, 50% of which will be affordable. These homes will have a range of tenures including market sale, rental, shared ownership and affordable rent.
Improved connectivity
The plans will create a number of new pedestrian routes, including a new Middle Road connecting Brick Lane and Shoreditch High Street.
A new hotel
A new 150-bed hotel will be delivered on the site, contributing to the local economy and creating jobs.
Restoring heritage
Historic structures such as the Oriel Gateway and the buildings on Sclater Street will be restored and opened to the public for the first time in decades.
New public spaces
The Goodsyard is a mixed-use development on one of Central London’s last major development sites. At the heart of the masterplan are new vibrant public spaces, including a network of pedestrianised streets, roads and green spaces that weave between the City’s high-rise offices and Brick Lane.
A new public park
Above the arches, a new public park will run from west to east, linking a series of garden spaces set between the buildings.
Seating terraces and viewing balconies will create a connection between the ground and park levels at each end.
Accessibility
Lifts and staircases will connect the ground level to the elevated park, designed to flow naturally with the historic structures and new buildings.
This will include a refurbished ‘eco-chimney’, which helps to tell the story of the site’s past in a new heritage centre.
