Bouygues UK has won the first construction contract for a regeneration project in Barking.

The development is being jointly delivered by East Thames and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD).

The authorities are renewing the eastern end of the Gascoigne Estate, sharing responsibility for the funding, design, construction and maintenance.

Bouygues has been appointed a £41.5 million contract to deliver the first 190 homes as part of Phase One of the project, along with the development of an energy centre.

The Gascoigne East plan will create 1,575 homes, a secondary and primary school, green spaces and a community centre over the next nine years.

The plan forms part of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham's Estate's Renewal Programme.

Designed by architects Levitt Bernstein and Allies & Morrison, the new homes will range from one to four bedrooms and will become available by 2018.

East Thames Director of Development, Trevor Burns, said: "Bouygues UK has a wealth of experience in delivering large scale regeneration projects and we’re confident that they will support us to deliver a very high quality product for Gascoigne East."

Bouygues UK Managing Director for Housing London, John Campion, said: "We have a strong presence in Barking and Dagenham through our existing relationship with the council, which has also seen us working on the mixed-use scheme on London Road and the Creative Ice House Quarter development at Abbey Road.

"We're very happy to be working with East Thames and LBBD as part of the overall masterplan to regenerate Gascoigne Estate, as well as increasing our contribution to the wider regeneration of the borough as a whole."
