Transport House

Construction works are underway for this new development of 149 new, sustainably heated, homes on a former office block site, located south of New Road in Dagenham.

The council-owned Transport House site, formerly home to Unite trade union, and the car park next to it, will now be transformed into brand new homes for residents, with undercroft parking also provided for the Premier Inn, next door.

The new homes, which will be bult using full Modern Methods of Construction, support Be First’s mission to deliver environmentally friendly homes that will be fit for residents and communities now and in future, as well as the council’s work towards reaching Net Zero. This is the second collaboration between Be First and Hollybrook, having successfully delivered the Chequers Lane development in 2022.

The new development consists of one, two, three and four bed homes, with 31 at London Affordable rent, 47 at Affordable rent and 71 at private rent.
