Gascoigne West Phase 2 shortlisted as a finalist at the 2025 RESI Awards
Celebrating exceptional projects that drive innovation and promote sustainable development in real estate, we are thrilled that Gascoigne West Phase 2 has been shortlisted in this year’s RESI Awards in the Development of the Year category.
This project gave us the opportunity to improve the quantity and quality of affordable homes for local people and enable a paradigm shift in how the public spaces are used; a move from estate to neighbourhood.
Linda Thiel, Partner at White Arkitekter
Part of the borough’s broader transformation programme to create more affordable housing, Gascoigne West Phase 2 promotes Barking’s vision to become one of the greenest, most affordable and sustainable areas in East London. The development’s innovative approach demonstrates how urban regeneration can successfully balance design, community needs and environmental sustainability.
We are proud to see West Phase 2 complete, our third project with Be First in the Gascoigne Neighbourhood. Having worked with the local community, we aimed to create a sustainable, vibrant place with parks, play and affordable homes, and it is lovely to finally see this part of the neighbourhood come to life.
