103 new homes as part of Canning Town regeneration

Tackling deprivation

Of the new homes, 68 will be for the affordable market and 35 private rent. They form part of the first phase of the £180 million Rathbone Market scheme at the centre of the huge Canning Town & Custom House Regeneration Programme - a key strategic site for the London Borough of Newham.

John Hughes, Group Development Director at Notting Hill Housing said

"Canning Town is currently among the most deprived areas in the UK. Notting Hill Housing is proud to be working on this ambitious project that will transform the area physically, socially and economically."

Duncan Cumberland development director at Muse Developments, English Cities Fund's development arm, commented:

"It's great to be working in partnership with Notting Hill in providing high-quality homes for the community."

In time for 2012

Due for completion by summer 2012 phase one of Rathbone Market will deliver a total of 271 new homes with further phases to follow.

The whole Rathbone Market project is expected to be complete by early 2016 and will include a new market square, shops, offices, community facilities and around 650 new homes.

It has been designed by award-winning CZWG Architects, a London-based practice with an international reputation for bold and imaginative architecture.

English Cities Fund is a joint venture vehicle between Muse Developments, Legal and General and the Homes and Communities Agency. Phase one is being delivered with the assistance of funding from the Homes and Communities Agency, the Mayor of London and the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation (LTGDC).
