The firm has sealed final Section 106 legal agreement with Southend Council allowing it to a redevelop the former HMRC tower on Victoria Avenue.
The green light unlocks plans to convert the vacant 1960s Alexander House office block into 557 flats above ground-floor commercial space and a new public pocket park.
Councillors backed the scheme back in late 2024 pending agreement of a developer contribution package that has now been formally signed off.
Most of the homes will be delivered within the existing tower structure, with additional wings bolted on to increase capacity and rework the building’s massing.
The approved mix comprises 334 one-bed flats, 185 two-bed units and 38 three-bed homes.
A formal construction start date has yet to be confirmed.
