The project will regenerate the area of Blackwall Reach.
The demolition at Robin Hood Gardens was carried out by housing association Sanctuary's contractor Keltbray.
The wider project is a partnership between the Greater London Authority, Tower Hamlets Council and Sanctuary.
This will deliver more than 1,500 new homes, with 500 available for social rent to address the borough's housing needs.
A total of 44 family-sized homes are also in the plans.

More than 600 homes have already been created, of which 214 were allocated for social rent.
The project also involved the rejuvenation of Millennium Green, offering a landscaped green space enjoyed by the community, including a playground mainly used by children from nearby Woolmore Primary School.
Lutfur Rahman, executive mayor of Tower Hamlets, said: "This regeneration scheme is about providing affordable homes for local people at a time when they are needed the most.
"But Blackwall Reach is also about creating a community with the services and opportunities residents need to thrive.
"Through our partnership, we’re making sure people have access to good quality homes, local amenities, and a neighbourhood where they can build a better future."
The latest milestone was also hailed by Tom Copley, London's deputy mayor for housing.
He added: "The Mayor of London has invested in this joint scheme with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to deliver the high quality, energy efficient, and affordable housing that Londoners desperately need, as we build a better, greener, fairer London for everyone."
