The London-listed company said the site, located on Carmen Street in Poplar, E14, has full planning consent for a 22 storey development consisting of 206 new homes and a nursery.
In a short statement released on Thursday, Telford added it expects work to begin next year and forecast work will be completed by 2019-2020, adding the development will add approximately £80m of revenue to its development pipeline.
“We are constantly reviewing potential sites and having access to this capital has allowed us to move quickly to secure the Carmen Street site which has the unexpected advantage of an existing planning consent,” said group chief executive Jon Di-Stefano.
“Poplar is an area we know well, where there is strong and proven demand for our homes, and we look forward to commencing this exciting development in 2016".
