Former Press and Broadcast Centres to become new digital cluster


The former Press and Broadcast Centres on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park are set to undergo a very serious redevelopment programme, following which they will be transformed into a world-leading creative and digital cluster, a media news report on this topic has recently revealed.

The development will be called Here East and iCITY will be the company in charge of overseeing the works, after managing to win the tender put out by the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC).

Here East will enjoy more than one million square feet of space and will offer some of the most advanced digital infrastructure in the world, including almost unlimited bandwidth connectivity and the highest capacity power.

The planning decision granted to iCITY marks a major milestone in the delivery of the Olympic legacy and is another step towards creating a home for world-leading creative and digital companies on the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Here East will be the significant generator of employment, training and education opportunities across the Park and support east London’s flourishing creative and digital industries, as it is estimated that it will create over 7,500 jobs, including 5,300 directly on-site and a further 2,200 in the local community through the impact of using local supply chains and new business generation.
