Plans for a 53-storey residential-led tower at Meridian Gate on the Isle of Dogs have been given the green light.

Joint developers Meridian Property Holdings and LBS Properties commissioned architect Make to design the latest tower plan, which will consist of over 400 one, two and three-bed apartments.

The tower, approved by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, will be built beside West India Docks and is one of several sites that form the Marsh Wall East masterplan area.

The apartments benefit from the combination of balconies, winter gardens and terraces, providing private external space and views of the capital.

Frank Filskow, Make partner and lead project architect, said: “Meridian Gate will be an exciting new addition to the Isle of Dogs and responds to the Councils aspirations within the developing South Quay Masterplan.

“The slender design maximises the opportunity to provide a significant new park for residents and the local community.”
