The Factory District Transformation Area
Located in the Thames Estuary Growth Corridor in Barking and Dagenham and just 30 minutes from the City of London, Be First’s Thames Road development, also known as The Factory District, is looking for investment partners.
The Factory District is a designated Transformation Area with policy support for 3,500 homes alongside modern industrial and commercial uses. It will transform under used brownfield land into a co-living business and residential district and provide modern, lighter industrial uses, leveraging the local strengths of film, food, construction, logistics and science and innovation.
Overall, the development is anticipated to deliver a gross development value of £1.83bn.
