Derwent London has formed a strategic partnership with Related Argent to develop one of the last major island regeneration plots in central London at Old Street.<\/p>\n

The developer expects to complete the site acquisition in late 2027 after early studies confirmed potential for a substantial mixed-use campus across the 2.5-acre former Moorfields Eye Hospital plot, near the Silicon Roundabout.<\/p>\n

Under the new partnership, both firms will work towards planning consent for a ‘living-led’ scheme, exploring a range of uses including residential, co-living, student accommodation, offices and hotel space.<\/p>\n

The masterplan will be designed to give Derwent London flexibility on future delivery routes \u2014 from joint ventures and forward funding to individual plot sales.<\/p>\n

Related Argent\u2019s track record in large-scale regeneration, including King\u2019s Cross and Brent Cross Town, was a key factor in its selection through a competitive tender.<\/p>\n

Paul Williams, chief executive of Derwent London, said the Old Street Quarter represented \u201can exciting regeneration opportunity for one of the few remaining significant island sites in central London.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe have actively explored a number of options to ensure we deliver the best possible regeneration and, as part of a competitive tender, Related Argent showcased their extensive experience in master planning this type of large-scale project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tom Goodall, chief executive at Related Argent, said: \u201cTogether, we will draw on our collective experience leading complex, mixed-use developments to successfully bring forward this site \u2014 propelled by a shared ambition to bring long-term value to London.\u201d<\/p>\n
