Whitechapel

Improvement works at Whitechapel

We’re breathing new life into 28 mixed-use properties in the heart of Whitechapel, made up of retail, residential and commercial spaces. Many of these buildings were previously left in a derelict or underused state.

Enhancing Spaces Inside and Out

The works being delivered at Whitechapel include the installation of new roofs and utilities, upgrades to water management systems, and enhancements to shop fronts. Interiors are being renewed to achieve improved EPC ratings, while green credentials are strengthened through the introduction of renewable energy solutions.

These improvements will help preserve the character of the area while creating more modern, energy-efficient spaces for people to live, work and shop. Completion is targeted for the end of 2025.
