The investment proposition: The Silvertown Partnership is looking for forward funding.
Key facts:
Millennium Mills is an icon of East London. One of the last former industrial structures on the Thames to be redeveloped, Millennium Mills will provide new flexible workplace opportunities and is the centrepiece of the wider 60-acre Silvertown development, which will deliver c. 6,500 homes (50% are affordable), community, retail, and cultural spaces. As a locally listed historic landmark, the original structure will be restored to preserve its unique old milling features and limited new materials will be used — giving the building an exceptionally low embodied carbon rating and achieving the highest sustainability and wellness credentials. It will facilitate a range of different uses, from creative design studios (office), exhibition and art gallery spaces, to education and research & development. All building occupiers can meet and form new networks through the communal spaces in the building, including terraces and a rooftop bar to enjoy the incredible views over London.
Bringing this iconic building back to life will catalyse London’s most important regeneration story. Thanks to a unique partnership of local people, the public sector, and led by experienced city-shaping specialists Lendlease, this dockside destination will become a new place for local people to work, shop, drink, eat and meet, whilst creating much needed skills, employment, training and homes for the community.
