Olympic Village to get a Rebrand

The Olympic Athletes’s village will be rebranded following the games and will become the East Village.

Delancey and Qatari Diar together with Triathlon Homes, the housing consortium running the scheme’s affordable element, today confirmed that most of the 1,439 flats at the east London blocks would be available for rent from 2013 onwards.

The Village will comprise a mix pf property ranging from one bedroom flats through to four bedroom houses and will carry an E20 postcode.  The mixed usage development will also be home to over 20 retail shops and premises as well as a medical centre and the Chobham Academy.  The Academy will take 1,800 children from the ages of 3 – 19 and will, among other subjects, specialise in Sports excellence, no surprises there!

Elliot Lipton of Triathlon Homes said: “Our vision is to deliver a neighbourhood that provides the very best quality homes and services to its residents and one which fosters a welcoming, inclusive, safe and vibrant community.

The development of the Village is seen as one of the key residual assets of the Games and will contribute towards the greater regeneration and transformation of east London post the 2012 Olympic Games.
