Over a hundred new homes were unveiled in Stratford last week as part of a new housing scheme worth �49 million.
Rick Roberts Way, a mixed tenure scheme off of Stratford High Street, comprises a total of 173 properties.
One Housing Group, who delivered the scheme with construction group Galliford Try, says Rick Roberts Way is offering 37 affordable rented properties, 111 private sale, and 25 shared ownership homes.
The community also features seven commercial units, private landscaped gardens, a children’s play area, and a 60 space basement car park.
Launching the scheme on April 4, Newham Mayor Sir Robin Wales said: “This exciting new development at Rick Roberts Way will help working families get into top-notch housing during the current tough economic climate.
