Investing in East London
New research estimates that the Olympic Park and surrounding area has already attracted more than £1.6 billion of private investment ahead of the Olympics, boosting ambitious plans to regenerate East London after the Games.
One of the biggest developments is from Inter Ikea, an arm of the furniture retailer which is proposing to build 1,200 homes, 400,000sq ft of commercial space and a 350-bed Marriott hotel.
According to property agent CBRE, which compiled the data, the £1.6 billion invested in the last two years represents commitments to deliver more than 6,000 homes and three million sq ft of commercial space.
Mathew Black, head of CBRE’s east London team, said: “A lot of people are wondering what will happen after the Games but it is clear there is already substantial activity.”
