Tom Copley, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Development, said: “TwelveTrees Park is a fantastic regeneration project being delivered on City Hall-owned brownfield land in partnership between Berkeley Homes and the GLA. It will bring high-quality affordable and social homes right to the heart of east London, along with new green spaces, improved infrastructure and vital amenities for families and the whole community. The Mayor and I are proud to be supporting this development and look forward to seeing work progress quickly as we continue building a better and fairer city for all.”
Guy Burnett, Executive Director of Development at Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing, comments: “Partnership working is essential in our sector’s drive to tackle the scale of London’s housing shortage, particularly in boroughs such as Newham where demand for family homes continues to grow. Working with Berkeley Homes at TwelveTrees Park will help bring safe, comfortable and affordable housing choices to West Ham. Available for rent and for shared ownership, these well-connected Zone 2 homes will offer a fresh start to hundreds of people in housing need.”
Harry Lewis, Divisional Director of Land & Planning, said: “TwelveTrees Park has been built on partnerships, and our continued work with Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing is an important part of ensuring the development provides high-quality affordable housing in West Ham. Through collaboration, we can help address the demand for well-designed, affordable homes and create a neighbourhood that will support the local community for generations to come.”
Berkeley Group has worked in partnership with MTVH over the last 25 years delivering thousands of affordable homes, setting strong foundations for success with this latest partnership at TwelveTrees Park.
TwelveTrees Park is a major brownfield regeneration project that will take over two decades to complete. The 26-acre former Parcelforce depot is being transformed through a landscaped masterplan by Patel Taylor Architects that will include a 12-acre park with water features, and gardens and courtyards filled with mature trees. A supermarket, office hub, community centre and science school will add to the superb living environment, while 500 permanent new jobs and more than 8,000 construction roles will be created during the build.
