Town Quay Wharf

The floor-to-ceiling windows in every apartment ensure that each home is filled with natural light, while private terraces or balconies provide additional outdoor space. A new public plaza on the waterfront is being created, offering residents a welcoming place to relax and socialise with their neighbours, enhancing the sense of community.

A momentous occasion unfolded at the Town Quay development in Barking as an 11-storey building reached its pinnacle, marking the completion of a significant construction phase. Led by Be First in collaboration with Weston Homes, the 'Topping Out' ceremony was attended by esteemed guests including Darren Rodwell, leader of Barking and Dagenham Council, and senior directors from Weston Homes.

The development, boasting a Gross Development Value of £53 million, is set to redefine the landscape of the area, offering a blend of 147 new build apartments and 1,000 square meters of commercial space. Notably, 62 affordable units will be provided on a 'turnkey' basis to the Council, addressing the pressing need for accessible housing options. Of these, 29 apartments will adhere to the London Affordable Rent standard, while 33 will be available for shared ownership.

Situated along the picturesque Town Quay and the River Roding, the development is envisioned as a vibrant community hub, complete with a public plaza overlooking the scenic waterfront. Market sale one and two-bedroom apartments are slated for launch in the summer, promising contemporary living spaces equipped with top-notch amenities such as balconies or terraces, full-fibre broadband, and communal facilities including food and beverage outlets, workshops, and artist's studios.

The successful 'Topping Out' ceremony signifies a significant step forward in the Town Quay development, paving the way for a dynamic and inclusive community space in the heart of Barking.
