We are excited to announce that planning permission has been granted for 150 Minories, a transformative co-living development in Aldgate. This milestone marks a key step toward delivering a sustainable, modern residential space that will contribute to the revitalisation of this vibrant part of London.
Sustainable urban living in the heart of Aldgate
Developed by Bridges Fund Management and HUB, with architectural design by Morris+Co, 150 Minories will repurpose a 1950s office building into a sustainable, co-living space. As the Quantity Surveyor and Carbon Manager, we have worked closely with the team to ensure that the project aligns with both financial and environmental objectives.
The development will offer up to 277 new homes, featuring a mix of private and communal living areas designed to foster a sense of community and well-being. The project’s sustainability credentials are impressive, with a 30% reduction in embodied carbon compared to a new-build alternative by retaining much of the existing structure. It will be an all-electric building, aiming for net-zero operational carbon through the use of air source heat pumps and photovoltaics.
Additionally, the development will include a public pocket park, wellness hub, and other community-focused spaces designed to enhance both resident and public engagement with the surrounding area.
What’s next?
With planning now approved, the next step is to begin the detailed design and preparation for construction. We are eager to see this exciting project come to life and play a part in shaping a greener, more connected future for London. As the Quantity Surveyor and Carbon Manager, we will continue to ensure that cost, carbon, and sustainability objectives remain at the forefront as we move towards the construction phase.
The project’s success will serve as a valuable benchmark for future urban developments, demonstrating how adaptive reuse and sustainable design can meet both housing and environmental needs. We look forward to collaborating with the development team to deliver 150 Minories, and we’re excited to see the positive impact this development will have on the local community.
