About Barking Riverside Limited
(BRL)The delivery of Barking Riverside is being led by master developer BRL, a joint venture between the Mayor of London and L&Q housing association.
London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has previously described Barking Riverside as “an inspiring model for how to fix our housing crisis” and L&Q and the GLA are proud to be leading what will be one of the most significant developments in London.
As the master developer behind Barking Riverside, BRL’s mission is to deliver a new neighbourhood in London that makes people feel a genuine sense of belonging and pride.
BRL has a critical leadership role at Barking Riverside and is responsible for the overall design, land strategy and planning, as well as leading the major infrastructure projects – be that building new roads or delivering community centres.
The Barking Riverside project is strengthened by delivery partnerships with L&Q Construction, Transport for London, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, Bellway London, and the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
Barking Riverside is a prime example of a new town in London, a pioneering partnership delivering thousands of new homes for Londoners. It’s an inspiring model of how to fix our housing crisis, with new public transport connections, schools, green spaces and a town centre making this a blueprint for how the next generation of English new towns could work.
I’m determined to do everything in my power to continue boosting homebuilding across London, as part of my plan to build a fairer, more prosperous city for all Londoners.
The UK is in the grips of a housing and affordability crisis, which is getting worse. That has to change, and projects like Barking Riverside are part of the solution. This growing neighbourhood is delivering well-designed affordable homes and community infrastructure at scale. It is also a mission to create social and economic benefits, reduce inequality, and enable people to live better lives.
We believe Barking Riverside could be a blueprint for brownfield development across the country. None of this would be possible without partnerships, from L&Q and the Mayor of London to the many others contributing to the success of this place. Delivering the proposed new homes and infrastructure will be a wonderful next step at this exciting new neighbourhood.
