BGY have won planning approval for a 2 acre Hackney masterplan, a high quality mixed-use development comprising residential and student accommodation. The scheme sensitively refurbishes and extends buildings and creates two new buildings, including a 10 storey new residential building overall creating 115 units and a 4-8 storey student accommodation block providing 250 units. The scheme establishes a more prominent public realm at street level and creates amenity space.
The Boundary Building is now complete.
The apartments created as part of a mixed-use building refurbishment have the secured the highest resale value for residential space yet achieved in the burgeoning Shoreditch property market. The unprecedented rate of £950 per sq ft reflects the exceptional design quality of BuckleyGrayYeoman’s conversion of the formerly derelict building, located at Boundary Street, Shoredtich, a stone’s throw from the practice’s offices. The 8,000 sq ft of residential space, divided into eight apartments over the upper two floors of the building, sold out weeks in advance of completion.
Retaining the original high street facade and rebuilding the rear section of the building, BuckleyGrayYeoman created a double aspect, mixed-use scheme comprising retail, offices and residential uses. A private landscape courtyard from Boundary Street provides access to the residential penthouses at the top of the building.
The wraps have just been removed from the Boundary Street development in Shoreditch, a mixed-use building in a fantastic position within one of creative centres of the capital. The site will have retail access from both Shoreditch High Street and Boundary Street, providing a double frontage unit with strong street presence. The office floors offer dual aspect onto the High Street and towards the The Boundary development at the rear. A private, secure, landscaped residential access will be provided from Boundary Street. Due for completion mid-May 2012.
