Deal let under Be First鈥檚 拢1bn overhaul of Barking
Wates has won its first job on a 拢1bn framework set up by an east London council to transform the middle of Barking.
Be First, Barking and Dagenham council鈥檚 development company, has appointed the firm to a 拢55m scheme to revamp the Gascoigne Estate.
The proposed plans will see part of the 1960s estate redeveloped as 200 new homes. Work is expected to start in February next year and finish in 2022.
Along with McLaren, which is already working on two schemes for Be First including one to build a 29-storey tower in the town, and Willmott Dixon, Wates is one of three firms on the highest value lot of the framework 鈥� schemes over 拢10m.
A further four firms have booked places on the lower value lot.
