Said to be developed by LBS Properties and Meridian Property Holdings, the sustainable scheme is expected to offer more than 400 private and affordable homes.
According to Make, the slender form of the tower frees 70% of the site to be used for new public realm and provide access to a café, public gardens and a children’s playground.
Make partner and lead project architect Frank Filskow said: "Meridian Gate will be an exciting new addition to the Isle of Dogs and responds to the council’s aspirations within the developing South Quay master plan.
