**Tom Copley, the Deputy Mayor of London for Housing and Residential Development, said:** “TwelveTrees Park is going to transform the local area, providing thousands of much-needed new homes alongside a new school, parkland and retail space. It’s fantastic to see the first 110 affordable homes delivered, alongside the two pedestrian bridges that will connect the site to the wider West Ham community for the first time. As the development continues, creating thousands of jobs, I look forward to seeing the regeneration of the site and all the new benefits it will bring to local residents as we continue to build a better, fairer London for all.”
**Mayor of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz OBE, said:** "Today’s a major milestone in delivering more homes people can afford with the completion of a vital phase of the remarkable TwelveTrees development.
“Driven by valued partners Berkeley, who are committed to our inclusive growth mission in our borough across a number of schemes, TwelveTrees is another example of how Newham is growing London.
“With a new neighbourhood born from inspiration and hard work, it shows Berkeley’s enduring commitment to Newham as they transform one of London’s most complex regeneration sites. It’s a great example of modern urban living and these completed new homes and bridges are the foundation of exciting things to come.
“A thriving, inclusive and vibrant neighbourhood that champions high quality and sustainable housing design with residents and communities at its heart."
**Angela Wood, Deputy Executive Director of Development at Peabody, said:** "It’s great to see families already enjoying living at TwelveTrees Park. The completion of these new high-quality, affordable homes is a welcome milestone and demonstrates the importance of partnership working and a shared commitment to building communities, not just homes.
"Completing the first affordable homes - including much-needed social rent - along with new pedestrian bridges, is a big step in reconnecting this part of West Ham with the wider community. It’s a real boost for the area, opening up new opportunities, stronger links, and the foundations for a vibrant, inclusive neighbourhood.”
**Harry Lewis, Divisional Land and Development Director at Berkeley Group, said:** “We are delighted to welcome our first residents to their new affordable homes at TwelveTrees Park.
“London’s housing crisis is causing deep and lasting damage, and we need to combine our strengths to deliver long-term solutions. Thanks to a strong public-private partnership, we’ve delivered our first 110 affordable homes at TwelveTrees Park and aim to complete several hundred more between now and 2030.
“But this is also about unlocking opportunity for more – the new pedestrian bridges open up access for the community for the first time, and lay the groundwork for more new homes, jobs, green space, schools and services for West Ham and the Lower Lea Valley.”
