Fresh Wharf is a multi-phase project which sees the transformation of what was once a bustling wharf on the river Roding. The redevelopment comprises 532 homes in a range of tenures, flexible commercial spaces, generous landscaping, a new riverside walk and new infrastructure, along with parking concealed below podium gardens. Buildings ranging from 3 to 14 storeys sit comfortably next to the Town Quay Pool, with vistas across Barking Abbey Grounds to the town centre.

The development boasts a complex basement with carparking, a gym and extensive plant space including a below-ground sprinkler tank. The residential blocks are connected by a series of podium gardens, creating a harmonious flow between the various components of the development.

The brickwork, executed beautifully by Lee Marley, is a true masterpiece, a testament to the quality and attention to detail of the hard work of FRA technical team and Countryside. The brickwork is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides the necessary durability and longevity of the building. The landscape, designed by LDA, brings a new level of serenity and beauty to the development, creating a welcoming and inviting environment for residents and visitors alike.

At Fresh Wharf, modern design and community living come together to create a truly exceptional development. We are proud to be a part of this project and look forward to the continued success of Fresh Wharf for years to come.
