The £200m Romford Town Centre Development

After this announcement, lots of potential plans for property development in the area began to take shape. In recent weeks, a forerunner has emerged. First Base Limited unveiled its plans to enter into a joint venture with Havering Council to turn the ailing Bridge Close industrial estate into a development with hundreds of new homes.

Bridge Close

There are up to 3,300 homes planned for the Romford area, and this new development will deliver 840 of them. As well as the residential properties, there will be new work spaces and a bridge linking the area to Romford station, from which you can be in the centre of London within the hour. An artist’s impression of the proposed development shows a modern, green neighbourhood that would really be a wonderful place to live.

First Base Limited have a proven track record

First Base Limited have a great reputation in East London already. They were the brains behind the East Village development in Stratford’s Olympic Park, as well as the delivery partner of a 62-acre mixed use scheme in Silvertown. So they are definitely the kind of developers that would be able to bring new jobs and infrastructure to the Romford area, and the council have enthused about their ‘proven track record’ in delivering projects that improve local communities. The Bridge Close development will bring both new homes and boost the local economy, something a constantly growing area like Romford really needs.
