Poplar Riverside

Investment in the Poplar Riverside brings opportunity to create a world-class residential scheme, not simply in the quality of the built development, but as a demonstration of integration and sustainability.

Poplar has long suffered from high levels of social and economic deprivation and was home to the Robin Hood Gardens residential estate. The area has recently enjoyed investment with new residential schemes such as the ambitious Blackwall Reach Masterplan, Providence Tower, south of Aspen Way and Roosevelt Tower in All Saints, encouraging a more prosperous demographic.

The landscape design strategy establishes connectivity across these new developments, introduces improved access to the riverside and local docks, creates a range of gardens and activities to inspire social integration, and an open space network that extends local biodiversity and improves the air quality of a once highly polluted area of the city.
