Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands鈥� The Brooklyn proposal for Canada Water

Architect Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands is set to submit a planning application for an 拢80m mixed-use scheme in Canada Water, south-east London.

The 18-storey project, known as the Brooklyn, will contain 150 homes and 25,000sq ft of office space on a site called St Olav鈥檚 Court besides the Rotherhithe Tunnel.

The scheme is set to progress after developer Southern Grove exchanged on the site last week. It will now seek a housing association as a partner to ensure as much of the housing as possible is 鈥渁ffordable鈥�.

A planning application will be submitted by the end of October, said a spokesman.

The scheme will be located close to British Land鈥檚 53-acre redevelopment site south-east of Canada Water station. Planning was granted by Southwark Council in October for that 拢3.3bn project, which includes Surrey Quays shopping centre.

The council hopes it will become a new town centre with 3,000 homes and retail, office and leisure space.
