Millharbour Village…
Studio Egret West have been appointed by Millharbour LLP, a joint partnership between Galliard Homes Ltd. and Ballymore Ltd. as masterplanning architect for 3 Millharbour and 6-8 South Quay Square in London’s Docklands.
A planning application for the joint 2.6 hectare site, dubbed the Millharbour Quarter was previously submitted in 2009, but withdrawn due to lack of support by the Local Authority in 2010. With the subsequent lack of confidence in the London development market easing, Millharbour LLP have charged Studio Egret West to work alongside Tower Hamlets and other key stakeholders to devise a vision and strategic framework plan for the development.
