Linden Homes’ revolutionary new development St Clement’s in Mile End is coming soon. Work is underway on site and the first of the homes are expected to be released for sale later this year.
St Clement’s is part of the UK’s first ever urban Community Land Trust: It’s a pioneering scheme that is being carried out on the site of the historic, but abandoned, St Clement’s hospital. The new homes being built here will give the area a new lease of life and help to regenerate the local economy.
The Grade II listed hospital buildings will be refurbished and converted into beautiful new apartments and these will be complemented by a range of elegant, high quality new build homes.
Christie Alamio, sales and marketing director at Linden Homes Eastern said: “We are really excited to bring these homes to Mile End. Once complete we will be proud to have transformed the derelict area into a new neighbourhood of 252 community homes.”
In March the Mayor of London Boris Johnson gave the project his seal of approval when he unveiled the scheme. He said:
“This innovative housing scheme has the local community at the heart of it and is delivering permanently low cost homes and creating jobs. Parts of this historic building will be restored to its former glory so that the community can continue to enjoy this amazing, well-loved site.”
Since then the work has begun in earnest and once it’s complete, Linden Homes, working with the East London Community Land Trust, will have transformed the derelict area into a new neighbourhood including the selection of homes at St Clement’s.
While most of these will be private homes, 35% will be designated as affordable, of which 23 will be handled by the East London Community Land Trust. These properties will be the UK’s first urban CLT properties ever delivered to market.

You can also register your interest in the homes at St Clement’s – and once you have registered you will be informed of progress on site and, later on, kept up to date with which homes are to be released.
