The scheme comprises 3,500 homes, of which 1,640 will be affordable housing, set around new green spaces. The development also includes a new urban park, 3,000 sq m of play areas for children, community growing spaces and pocket gardens, while new cycle and pedestrian routes will make it easy for residents to connect with the surroundings.
Dagenham Green will include a new market square which will serve as the gateway to the neighbourhood, offering a hub for residents to socialise and shop. The development will also feature a brand-new secondary school and medical centre. Phase one will include 1,600 sq m of non-residential space which will be dedicated to creating inviting areas where people can socialise.
Construction of the first phase, consisting of 935 beautifully-designed apartments began in March 2023, with the first residents expected to move in during summer 2025. Ranging from one to three bedrooms, the apartments all come with the luxury of their own private outside space.
The first phase will offer 247 homes for private sale, 360 build-to-rent properties, 135 affordable rent apartments and 193 for shared ownership. Many homes will also be available to purchase using the Own New Rate Reducer scheme.
