Stratford Cross London (formerly known as International Quarter, IQL, The International Quarter and TIQ) is a business development project built by Lendlease and commercial developer LCR in a subdivision of Stratford, London, England.[1] [2] It is located between the site of the Westfield Stratford City shopping centre and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.[3] [4] The postcode designations are part of E20. Endeavour Square is part of the International Quarter.
Construction began in 2014 and is ongoing, with an estimated cost of £2.1 billion currently.[5]
The code names, designated by the plots being occupied for the most significant buildings were "S5" and "S6", now primarily occupied by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Transport for London (TfL) respectively.
Planning permission was granted for International Quarter London North, as it was then known, in 2017 and the first buildings were designated code names "N22" and "N21".[6] following the publishing of the design development report.
In late 2023, the area was renamed from International Quarter to Stratford Cross.[7]
Stratford Cross spans two core areas, South and North.
IQL South was the first to be developed and is partially occupied, with parts still under construction. It is located between Westfield Stratford City and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The Turing Building,[8] a 350,000 sq ft office building[9] announced Everyman Cinemas as the anchor leisure tenant on the ground floor of the building. [10]
IQL North was the second core area to be developed. It received planning permission in 2017 and received building code names "N22" and "N21" by the architects, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP). The site is located between Penny Brookes Street and International Way, north of Westfield Stratford City.
