Transforming a dated industrial area into the Factory District providing employment space and homes fit for the future and connecting Barking Riverside to the rest of the Borough. The area is beginning to take shape with the building of Industria and 12 Thames Road – showcasing models of industrial intensification (Industria) and co-location -residential and employment (12 Thames Road).
Intensified and improved industrial space will deliver more and better jobs, delivering modern space for future industries including our growth sectors of creative industries and food and also bringing vibrant communities together through co-location and growth of space for creative workspace.
We want to hear from developers who will look to intensify land use and optimise site potential, including multistorey industrial and co-located industrial and residential uses while providing high quality, mixed tenure housing for local people.
