New council housing completed in Stepney
The first of three affordable housing developments for Tower Hamlets has been completed. The new 7-storey building on Jubilee Street, Stepney, provides 24 affordable flats and a playground on the site of a former car park. Flats are biased towards larger sizes to meet local housing need.
The building has been named Levitas House after Max Levitas, a Tower Hamlets councillor who at 18 opposed Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts at the Battle of Cable Street.
Two more developments on the Locksley Estate and Dorset Estate are due to
complete shortly.
