About Bishopsgate Goodsyard
The Goodsyard is a 10-acre site on the edge of the City of London and is owned 50:50 with our joint venture partner, Ballymore Properties. Located in the heart of Shoreditch, it is one of central London’s last remaining strategic brownfield regeneration sites.
In December 2020, the Mayor of London approved plans to transform the Bishopsgate Goodsyard site into an exemplary mixed-use urban quarter that will help drive the recovery and growth of Shoreditch and London over the next decade.
The plans will provide 500 homes, with 50% affordable, as well as 1.4 million sq ft of workspace, including one of the largest single contributions of affordable workspace of any development in London.
The masterplan, designed by architect FaulknerBrowns, includes a high line-style elevated public park sitting on top of the restored historic railway arches that will provide a series of connected gardens, terraces and walkways, with a wide variety of biodiversity, including trees and planting. This will be one of the largest new parks in central London.
All heritage assets on the site will be fully restored, including the Grade II-listed Oriel Gateway and the Braithwaite Arches, which will become home to new retail and hospitality providers, with the opportunity within the scheme for emerging and independent businesses.
The development, which will be car free and provide over 3,000 cycle spaces, also includes two new flexible culture and arts buildings, one in Hackney and one in Tower Hamlets, with a destination cultural building on Brick Lane and a new exhibition space located within the arches on London Road.
Upon completion, the scheme will make a significant contribution to the local area and London, supporting over 11,000 jobs and contributing around £540m to the economy each year, as measured in Gross Value Add (GVA).
