Affordable housing provider Metropolitan Thames Valley (MTVH) has agreed a deal with Berkeley to deliver 426 new affordable homes at TwelveTrees Park in West Ham, London.
MTVH will deliver 148 homes for shared ownership and 278 homes for social rent, including 158 three-bedroom properties, as part of the second phase of the development. Work will begin on site immediately, with all homes delivered by March 2030.
Delivered in partnership between Berkeley, GLA Land & Property and London Borough of Newham, TwelveTrees Park is a 26-acre regeneration project that will deliver more than 4,700 new homes, 1,650 of which will be affordable.
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, added: “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 and 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.”
