The Goodsyard will deliver up to 500 homes, 1.4 million sq ft of workspace, a 2.6-acre park, restaurants and retail. Bishopsgate Goodsyard has remained largely derelict for fifty years...

Bishopsgate Goodsyard has remained largely derelict for fifty years following a fire in December 1964. Many historic elements of the site are closed to the public, including the Grade II Listed Braithwaite Arches. The opening up and development of the site therefore provides significant opportunity to deliver positive impacts on the physical and environmental quality of the area. The project will revitalise one of London's last significant undeveloped sites, enhancing its historical assets and preserving its architectural heritage.

Chris Dyson Architects is leading the restoration of key historical landmarks, including the Grade II Listed Braithwaite Arches and Oriel Gate, which will serve as a gateway from Shoreditch High Street. Five historic buildings along Sclater Street will be transformed into cafés and co-working spaces, with three new homes above. Sclater Street was once the heart of the Spitalfields silk weaving district and the team opted to bring it forward as the second RMA, ensuring early benefits to the community on a large-scale scheme.

Buildings have been designed with high levels of insulation and efficient systems to reduce energy demand and carbon emissions. Air source heat pumps will be used across the development, eliminating the need for traditional gas-powered systems. Energy from cooling systems (e.g., in retail spaces) will be repurposed for hot water in the residential and hotel buildings, reducing overall energy consumption. The Goodsyard uses electricity-based systems rather than the traditional combustion-based methods, aligning with the UK’s decarbonising grid.

“Bishopsgate Goodsyard is one of the most exciting redevelopment projects in London today.

“We acquired this long-neglected site almost 20 years ago, after it had remained unused since 1964. Rather than clearing its historic structures, we have embraced their potential—carefully restoring and repurposing key elements to create a combination of heritage and modernity.

“With a mix of adapted historic buildings alongside new homes, workspace, shops, cafés, restaurants, cultural spaces and public areas - including one of central London’s largest new park - this project fosters wellbeing, sustainability, and a deep connection to the site’s past while shaping its future.”
