Industria

Under Construction

Located on a brownfield site zoned for industrial use in Barking and Dagenham, Industria represents an innovative and ambitious approach to modern industrial design.

Located on a brownfield site in Barking and Dagenham, Industria represents an ambitious approach to modern industrial design. Industria will provide a community of light industrial units and maker spaces within a modern, sustainable building capable of flexing and adapting to current needs. The building will deliver around 10,000sqm of industrial space across 45 SME and Flatted Factory units of varying scales, achieved through stacking vertically and, importantly, providing vehicular access to upper floors by a helical van ramp.

I’ve really enjoyed being part of the project team delivering Industria for Be First & the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. It’s been exciting working on such a unique project to the UK, optimising often unutilised Industrial land to bring 45 new light Industrial units and potentially 350 new jobs to Barking and Dagenham.
Key to the successful delivery, has been ensuring we procured the right team to deliver the scheme, which judging by the performance of our Consultants and Contractor to date I believe we have demonstrated. There have been challenges along the way, not least delivering all this through a pandemic and unprecedented market conditions. Nevertheless, we’ve overcome these by working closely with the supply chain to ultimately deliver value via an efficient design the exceeds its deliverables while remaining commercially viable.
