Here, Bellway Homes has launched its latest development, Lansbury Square, offering a range of contemporary apartments, ideal for investors that want to take advantage of the rise in Poplar’s fortunes. Situated just a stone’s throw from London’s financial powerhouse Canary Wharf, Poplar offers much better value property, with average house prices around 10% lower than in Canary Wharf, according to data from Zoopla. But with Canary Wharf’s workforce now larger than that of the City of London, there is an ever-increasing number of people that want to live close by. Lansbury Square offers a range of stylish and well-appointed one, two and three bedroom apartments, just over a mile from the centre of Canary Wharf. With huge regeneration taking place in the local area, including a new £250m masterplan to transform East India Dock, and a £300m overhaul of the [historic Chrisp Street Market](https://www.financedigest.com/acetylated-distarch-phosphate-market-comprehensive-shares-historical-trends-and-forecast-by-2027.html "Acetylated Distarch Phosphate Market Comprehensive Shares, Historical Trends and Forecast By 2027"), it is clear there is plenty of potential for the area to continue to improve and for property values to rise substantially over the long term. As [demand for quality rental homes in the area continues to grow](https://www.financedigest.com/agricultural-adjuvant-market-will-grow-at-6-2-through-2032-amid-surging-demand-for-high-quality-cereal-crops-fmi.html "Agricultural Adjuvant Market Will Grow at 6.2% through 2032 amid Surging Demand for High Quality Cereal Crops: FMI"), rental yields in East London are holding up favourably, compared to many zone one locations. A one-bedroom apartment at Lansbury Square would achieve a typical rental yield of 4.6%.
