Gascoigne West Phase II

Celebrating exception projects that drive innovation and promote sustainable development in real estate, we are thrilled that Gascoigne West Phase 2 has been  shortlisted as a finalist at the 2025 RESI Awards!

Developed by Be First Regeneration Limited, London Borough of Barking and Dagenham urban regeneration company, designed by White Arkitekter and delivered by Wates Group with executive architect tp bennett, Gascoigne West Phase 2 provides 386 new homes, a community hub and a 1,500sqm playground.

Part of the borough’s broader transformation programme to create more affordable housing, Gascoigne West Phase 2 promotes Barking’s vision to become one of the greenest, most affordable and sustainable areas in East London. The development’s innovative approach demonstrates how urban regeneration can successfully balance design, community needs and environmental sustainability.

“A powerful blend of architecture, sustainability and social responsibility, this project enabled us to deliver a scheme that demonstrates how thoughtful design and modern construction methods can create transformative, resilient and equitable communities with a real sense of belonging. Building on the success of Gascoigne West Phase 1, we are excited to witness the continued growth and vibrancy of this area in London, said Julie Wilmer, Director at tp bennett.”

“This project gave us the opportunity to improve the quantity and quality of affordable homes for local people and enable a paradigm shift in how the public spaces are used; a move from estate to neighbourhood” says Linda Thiel, Lead Architect at White.
