The Goodsyard

Shoreditch

Ballymore / Hammerson

2026

A stone’s throw from our office at the Tea Building, Bishopsgate Goodsyard is one of the largest remaining sites to be developed on the City fringes. Largely unused since the 1960s, the old railway goods depot is now bisected – at height – by a London Overground viaduct and station.

We are working across three plots of The Goodsyard, each with its own character, constraints and challenges. Plots 1 and 2 sit on the prominent corner of Bethnal Green Road and Shoreditch High Street, and are designated primarily as office space. Our proposal envisages this space as being flexible, in keeping with the context and market, and aimed towards co-working and SMEs.

Plot 3 is located at the south-west corner of the site and spans a mainline railway cutting. It bookends the overall masterplan for The Goodsyard, its massing acting as a transition between the taller buildings within the central core of the site and the more varied surrounding context.

“The incredible potential of this strategically important site has been unrealised for too long. The Goodsyard will be an exemplary neighbourhood, with a mix of housing types, half of which will be affordable, sitting alongside workspace, shops, cafes and restaurants, cultural buildings, new streets and one of central London’s largest new parks - this will be a place designed with wellbeing in mind, where people want to live, work, and enjoy themselves.”
