Developer Berkeley, in partnership with Tower Hamlets Council, has unveiled its latest collection of apartments available at discounted, below market value prices.
The 17 one and two-bedroom apartments are located in Jade Wharf, part of the wider London Dock scheme in Wapping.
With prices starting at £262,000, the apartments are only being offered to first-time buyers who have lived in Tower Hamlets for at least 12 months or who work or have a job offer from a firm based in the borough.
Prospective buyers will need to move swiftly as the application and qualification process closes on September 21, 2026.
To be eligible, combined household income must be less than £90,000, with buyers allocated available properties based on their circumstances, which will be assessed by the council following an expression of interest.
Under the scheme the apartments are jointly owned with the authority, which retains an equity stake in the property although charges no rent on its holding and can be bought out.
Owners seeking to sell in the future must first market their property through the council for a period before they can offer it more widely.
Inside the apartments, buyers can expect open-plan living spaces featuring timber-effect flooring and carpeted bedrooms, all warmed by under-floor heating.
Fitted kitchens come with quartz worktops and tiled splashbacks and feature bronze, mirrored shelving as well as intergrated Bosch appliances.
Buyers can choose between cabinets sage green or soft white.
Bathrooms feature porcelain and ceramic tiles and framed bath and shower screens.
The apartments, many of which have private balconies, are expected to be finished and ready to move into from spring next year.
ready from sprint 2027
Managing director at Berkeley, Marcus Blake, said: “This latest collection has been created for first-time buyers looking to step onto the property ladder without compromising on quality, design or location.
“Ready to move into from spring 2027, these homes combine thoughtfully designed living spaces with premium amenities and excellent connectivity, making home ownership in central London more accessible.
“London Dock has grown into one of the capital’s most established and sought-after new neighbourhoods, with continued demand reflecting both the quality of the homes and the strength of the wider place created.
“From the outset, our ambition has been to deliver a neighbourhood that feels fully integrated into Wapping, combining retailers, welcoming public spaces and beautifully designed homes.”
London Dock itself currently houses around 2,000 people and includes 7.5 acres of landscaped open space and private gardens.
Residents get access to The Club, the scheme’s hotel-style wellness facility which comprises a gym, a squash court, a virtual golf suite, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms, a private screening room and a treatment room.
an emerging neighbourhood
The development is also set to become home to The Mauretania Lounge, which includes relaxing areas, a co-working space, a bar and a private dining room.
Inspired by the “gilded age of travel” this facility will also feature a grand central staircase and a floor-to-ceiling aquarium.
Locally, a growing clutch of businesses offer further amenities including hospitality from Urban Baristas, Champagne Route and Motherdough.
Fitness and wellbeing spots include E1 Crossfit, Club Pilates and City Dock Pharmacy and there’s also Dogeast, an independent grooming studio for canine residents.
London Dock is located within walking distance of Tower Hill, Wapping, Aldgate East and Shadwell stations, offering access to the DLR, Tube and Overground services.
Tower Pier is also a short stroll away through St Katharine Docks, past Tower Bridge and the Tower Of London.
It offers residents the option of travelling by river bus on Uber Boat By Thames Clippers services to many locations up and down the river, including Canary Wharf.
