Albert Jacob House - Proposed Development
Update April 2024
On behalf of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, we would like to invite you to participate in a community consultation process regarding the proposed development of Albert Jacob House E2 0PG.
Working in collaboration with Child Graddon Lewis Architects & Designers, we are proposing an exciting new development, consisting of much needed 100% affordable homes and potential commercial space. The scheme will provide improvements to the building’s overall appearance and immediate surroundings, and will include new green space, pedestrian routes, and new play space.
This will be our second community consultation for this scheme. We look forward to hearing your feedback and any questions that you may have about the proposed development.
We will be hosting two drop-in sessions where you can speak to the project team and the architects directly regarding this development. The details of these sessions are provided below.

Why do we need to build?
The Council has more than 24,000 households on its housing register, with many residents in acute housing need. We have our own house building programme and together with partners we are committed to building 4,000 social homes for rent, with a focus on 3-to-4-bedroom family homes, in line with the Mayor’s strategic priorities. This project will be delivered by the Council and is one of several Council owned sites that have been identified for regeneration and infill development.
