Topping out with the team at Silvertown

Silvertown progresses as the first affordable homes top out.

We have designed the six-storey building that will deliver 106 affordable apartments, with completion expected by Autumn 2025.

The Silvertown regeneration will transform a strategic dockland site that has been derelict for around 40 years. It will create circa 6,500 new homes, including thousands of new affordable homes across London Affordable Rent, Social Rent, and Shared Ownership tenures. The plans also include the creation of new jobs, within the restoration of the iconic Millennium Mills; and across retail, leisure, cultural and community facilities and next generation workspaces.

ML Associate Director, Dominic Milner said: “We’re delighted to be involved with the first residential building to be erected at Silvertown Quays.  The process has been characterised throughout by positive collaboration across partners. This building stands out for its innovative use of Building Information Modelling, pushing construction standards to achieve quicker, more efficient, and safer builds with reduced raw material usage. We’re looking forward to seeing the building completed, occupied, and the surrounding Silvertown neighbourhood thriving, just as we’ve seen with Lendlease at Elephant Park.”

Ed Mayes, Project Director for Silvertown, said: “Silvertown is being reimagined as the vibrant new heart for the Royal Docks—a bold place where people will live, work, and thrive. Delivering affordable housing for the local community is at the core of our vision, and with the first building now topping out, we’re one step closer to bringing these much-needed homes to the local community. In the current market it’s more important than ever to deliver these homes as early as possible, where they can make the greatest impact.”
