London, United Kingdom - 2016
Status: Existing
Stakeholders:
• Linden Homes
• Greater London Authority
• Peabody
The project provides 252 new homes, 35% of which are genuinely affordable homes including 58 for ‘social rent’ and 23 community land trust homes.
Building at the Grade 2 listed, ex-psychiatric hospital is nearing completion and we have just completed our allocations process for London’s first 23 CLT homes. The first CLT residents moved into St. Clement’s on 2016's summer.
The prices at the homes at:
£130,000 for a 1 bedroom
£182,000 for a 2 bedroom
£235,000 for a 3 bedroom
One of the aim of the project is working with residents to create a cohesive community at St. Clement’s and beyond. Working with community organisations and local residents, led that St. Clement’s will become a hub of social activity in Tower Hamlets and an example for future UK urban CLTs.
Some of the benefits to living at St. Clement’s are:
• High quality new homes at one third of the market cost,
• Good access to central public transport with parking available on site,
• Building complies with the government’s Code for Sustainable Homes level 4 – meaning it has been built with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind,
• Use of green spaces, a kids play area and the lovely Cemetery Park behind,
• Community space in the John Denham building at the front of the site,
• The ability to take a leading role in how the site and community space is run.
