Rydon, in a collaboration agreement with Family Mosaic, successfully led a two stage bid through the HCA's Delivery Partner Panel Framework and submitted the full planning application for the redevelopment of the former Queen Elizabeth Hospital, located on Hackney Road in Tower Hamlets.
With the plans approved by the Mayor of London, Rydon is creating the new development of 188 new homes, 38% of which will be affordable (43% by habitable room), for rent or for purchase through shared ownership. The remainder were available for private sale through Mettle & Poise.
The hospital site comprises a decommissioned children's hospital and associated accommodation for nurses, which closed in 1996 and has remained empty ever since. The site is located in close proximity to two conservation areas and it is directly adjacent to the London Borough of Hackney, as well as Hackney City Farm and several Grade II listed properties.
