Build to Rent in Tower Hamlets, London

The 195-room Mama Shelter London Shoreditch hotel has closed, with coliving operator ARK rebranding the site ahead of an expected July reopening.

153 affordable homes, 87% of which are for Social Rent (including 80+ family-sized social homes). A new community hub providing 161 sqm of floorspace for use by the community. A new and landscaped pocket park for the enjoyment of the whole community. 843 co-living homes, equivalent to 468 residential homes. A new cafe and workspaces for use by the public.

The 46-storey tower would be the tallest coliving scheme in the country. Under Olympian Homes’ Vivus Living brand, 833 studio apartments averaging 24 square meters will be spread across 46 storeys. Olympian plans to incorporate amenities throughout the building. Amenities will include commercial-sized gyms, spa and wellness space and lounge, dining and working areas, sky lounge and a cinema. Also planned for the co-living project are hotel-style accommodations, like private meeting and function rooms, a 24-hour concierge and room service.
