Duncan Cumberland, residential development director at The English Cities Fund, said: “We’ve worked closely with GLA, who are the majority landowner, to include a 50% affordable housing provision, which will make it an exemplar development and provide much-needed new housing for the local area.”
James Murray, deputy mayor for housing and residential development, said: “The Manor Road Quarter development in Canning Town shows how we can deliver 50% affordable housing, which will make a huge difference to the local community, providing hundreds of genuinely affordable homes that residents desperately need, alongside a new two-acre park.”
The partnership was set up in 2001, and acquired the site from the GLA in 2011 for £8m. Construction of the first phase is expected to begin in the summer of 2020. Other ECF schemes include the £180m Rathbone Market scheme, with further sites in Manchester, Liverpool, Wakefield and Plymouth.
