The Royal Borough of Greenwich has approved Crossrail's plans to build 400 homes above the new Woolwich Crossrail station.
The residential development, to be known as Armourer's Court, will consist of approximately 490,000 sq ft in five high quality buildings of varying heights set around a landscaped garden.
Carefully located retail and business space will be at ground level.
The Armourer's Court design by architects TP Bennett was reviewed by Design Council CABE and created in consultation with the local community, Royal Borough of Greenwich, Greater London Authority and English Heritage. It draws upon the heritage of the nearby Royal Arsenal buildings, with brick, metal and glass façades.
Crossrail will market the Armourer's Court site to potential development partners in the coming year and aims to commence construction once the station has been completed in 2018.
