UK: YourTRIBE and Aitch Group have acquired the former National Grid Site on Millennium Way in greenwich, south-east London.
The partners are proposing a purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) and coliving project on Millennium Way, with around 700 PBSA rooms and 400 coliving units, along with significant public realm and landscaping. More than a third (35 per cent) of the PBSA rooms will be provided at rents capped by the Mayor of London, and 10 per cent will be wheelchair accessible or adaptable.
The 0.5 hectare site has a prominent position on the south side of Millennium Way, adjacent to the Silvertown Tunnel Portal. The site is adjacent to the former SGN gasholder site which is also proposed for redevelopment.
North Greenwich Jubilee Line Station is a 10-minute walk away to the east. To the west, there are connections to the Thames Path where Greenwich Town Centre is around a 25 minute walk away.
Discussions with the Royal Borough of Greenwich over the proposals began in September 2025 and have continued into this year, including two Design Review Panel meetings.
YourTRIBE will provide 24/7 staffing on site, 365 days a year, through concierge/reception staff, residence management and security staff (internal and external).
A landscaping plan for the site at both ground and rooftop levels includes biodiverse greenery, amenity space and varied seating arrangements, linking into the public realm on neighbouring sites.
Ample cycle parking will promote sustainable transportation whilst the site is car free save for a small number of short term delivery bays and accessible parking spaces for Blue Badge holders associated with the site’s users.
