This is Be First's first net zero Carbon in use scheme and is part of Barking's regeneration of the Gascoigne East estate.

Winter Tour 2022
We enjoyed a winter walk this November around four of our housing schemes in east London. Travelling from Gascoigne East for Be First, onto Imperial Street for Guinness, then Plaistow Hub for Populo Living.
We then walked north through Queen Elizabeth Park through Fish Island Village to have dinner next to our completed scheme Monier Road, for Peabody.

Autumn Newsletter 2020
Wonder what we have been up to in the last few months?
We teamed up with developers Unboxed Homes and Steenvlinder, and architects Mae and AOC to deliver twelve detached, custom build houses on a site just 35 minutes from London. We received planning consent last month for our proposals to build 226 new homes as part of one of east London’s largest housing redevelopments by Be First on Barking’s Gascoigne East Estate. Two of our Projects, The Reach and Monier Road, were shorlisted for various awards. And our team discovered new talents during lockdown. To find out more read our newsletter.
