Mastmaker Village secures unanimous approval from Tower Hamlets Council

March 2026

Our unanimously approved plans for Mastmaker Village will deliver a new neighbourhood in Isle of Dogs that transforms the current brownfield site into a large-scale mixed-use development comprising shared living, affordable homes, a new community hub and extensive public realm.

The regeneration of the site will address housing needs in the area and provide a series of publicly accessible spaces, including a public pocket park, landscaped public spaces, community hub and cafe at ground level - integrating the development with existing local residential and business communities.

A new shared living building will deliver 843 large scale shared living units and a ground floor public café and coworking space, while a second building will create 153 high-quality affordable family homes, 121 social rent homes and 32 intermediate units, with a community hub at ground level. Outline planning for a third building will deliver the reprovision of an education building previously housed on the site.

The buildings have been designed to enhance the character and townscape of the area, through highly crafted façades that reference the industrial heritage of the Isle of Dogs, with a contemporary architectural language that draws on the area’s history of transporting and storing grains.
