This partnership will deliver the first 935 homes on the site, subject to approval from the Environment Agency, reported The Construction Index.
Located adjacent to Dagenham Dock railway station, the first phase of the project will be located in the southwest corner of the site.
This project will act as the gateway to the bigger masterplan area that received approval in March this year from planning authorities of the London borough of Barking & Dagenham.
Work will start on the first phase of early next year.

By GlobalDataThe entire development will be delivered across several phases, and will feature more than 3,500 homes, of which 1,640 will be allocated for affordable tenures.
It will also feature more than 1,600m2 of commercial, retail, and industrial space.
About 35% of the 935 homes under the first phase will be earmarked as affordable, reported HousingToday.
Barking & Dagenham Council leader Darren Rodwell said: “Where Fords once had their stamping plant, we will see new affordable homes and key facilities including a new Secondary School and medical centre at Dagenham Green. This is an exciting development, bringing more opportunities for local families along with the new film studios and the City of London’s iconic markets coming to the borough.
Hill Group chief executive Andy Hill was quoted by HousingToday as saying: “This major new project will have a transformative impact on the Dagenham area and create an exciting new community for east London.”
