The Creative Industries Quarter establishes a new urban identity for an area south west of Barking town centre. The scheme comprises a mix of residential tenures and creative industry accommodation set around a series of courtyards and riverside spaces that have direct links both the existing urban developments to the east and future sites to the west. The development creates a vibrant and unique place to live and work for both residents and tenants, as well as providing a creative hub and destination for visitors and the local community. The scheme is over four blocks and includes 269 private sale, shared ownership and social housing apartments, commercial/office, retail and creative industries uses, new public amenity spaces and a riverside walk delivered across two phases
