The Royal Mint Scheme Available to Purchase

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has given the Crown Estate Commissioners planning consent for the redevelopment of the former Royal Mint site, London EC3. The 6.5‐acre site — situated north of Tower Bridge, opposite the Tower of London — will provide more than 550,000 sq. ft gross of offices in four new blocks and a refurbished building; more than 80 residential units in two blocks; a community centre; shops; a museum complex; leisure facilities; parking; and public open spaces. The total cost of the scheme, which should be completed by the end of 1988, is estimated to be in the region of £120m.
