We’re showcasing a pair of developments that offer different things in very varied parts of London, while still delivering on outdoor space.
When complete, both will see significant public amenities created, opening up the areas they are being built in for the benefit of residents and the local communities that surround them…
Dagenham Green
give me the info
This is a momentous time for Dagenham Green.
The 45-acre, 3,500-home joint venture between The Hill Group and Peabody is soon set to welcome its first residents.
One, two and three-bedroom apartments are currently available for private sale at the scheme.
Fast-moving buyers, who reserve by the end of December, can claim a bauble from the development’s Christmas tree, each containing a surprise gift such as luxury homeware or premium tech.

Incentives aside, the scheme offers a wealth of attractions in a part of London that’s set for rapid regeneration in the years to come.
Dagenham Green is located adjacent to Dagenham Dock station, offering a direct C2C rail all the way into Fenchurch Street in 21 minutes.
what about the apartments?
Prices for homes at the scheme start at £300,000, which – as an example – would buy you a one-bed on the sixth floor of The Empire building with views over the development’s Central Park.
Extending to 552sq ft, the property includes a private balcony, a bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a kitchen with integrated Bosch appliances, underfloor heating arranged throughout and plentiful storage.
the nuts and bolts
Apartments at The Empire are set for completion over the coming weeks and come with 999-year leases.
On-site amenities include a residents’ car club and a concierge service.
and the green space?
As part of the delivery of the wider Dagenham Green scheme, some 10 acres have been set aside for public open space.
Plans include gardens, a lake, a park and a boardwalk as well as shops, a school, a social hub and cafés.
There are also plans to honour the land’s history as part of Ford’s extensive manufacturing plant and the part it played in the campaign for female workers’ rights via a series of pieces by artist Ruth Ewan.
how far is it from the Wharf?
By public transport, Dagenham Dock is about 20 minutes from Canary Wharf via C2C and Jubilee line services from West Ham.
Located close to the A13, the same journey by car takes around the same amount of time with favourable traffic.

One, two and three-bedroom apartments are available at Dagenham Green. Call 020 3906 1953 or email enquiries to

North Gate Park
give me the info
It’s all go at North Gate Park, right now with a new show apartment unveiled last week and a show house set for launch on January 17, 2026.
Covering the best part of 18 acres, the joint venture between The Hill Group and Peabody is on course to deliver just under 1,000 homes on a site arranged around Mulberry Gardens.
tell me more
The site was formerly part of St Ann’s Hospital and features open space designed in the early 20th century with input from horticulturists at Kew Gardens aimed at providing a calm, recuperative environment for patients.
Today, the first phase in its regeneration is nearing completion with historic buildings retained on site alongside the green spaces and newly constructed buildings.
Currently one and two-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom townhouses are available to buyers.
what about the homes?
Prices for the apartments start at £375,000, which – as an example – would buy you a ground floor home in Marram House with a private terrace extending to some 557sq ft.
Buyers can expect lots of storage, a bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a kitchen with integrated appliances and Amtico flooring in the living space.
Houses start at £965,000 and come with open-plan design and generous private gardens.
The properties come in a variety of flexible layouts and also include underfloor heating.
and the green space?
In addition to the on-site landscaping, North Gate Park is within easy striking distance of the likes of Chestnuts Park (right across the road), Finsbury Park, Woodberry Down Park and Clissold Park.
The scheme is located in a mature area of north London close to the bustling amenities of Green Lanes, the vibrancy of Seven Sisters and the attractions of the likes of Stroud Green, Crouch End and Stoke Newington, but retains a sense of calm, set just off a series of major thoroughfares.
how far is it from the Wharf?
For Wharfers considering a move, the simplest commute is probably via Seven Sisters and the Victoria line to Green Park with an easy change to the Jubilee to access the estate in around 40 minutes.
key details
One and two-bedroom apartments and three and four-bedroom houses are available at North Gate Park.
