Dagenham Green — The Empire
Former Ford heritage reborn: 999-year leasehold homes within a 45-acre riverside quarter
The Empire stands as the completed first phase of Dagenham Green, a 3,500-home transformation of the historic Ford Stamping & Tooling Plant—once Europe's largest car factory—set across 45 acres of East London waterfront. Delivered by The Hill Group and Peabody, two names synonymous with award-winning place-making, the scheme unfolds around ten acres of new public realm, a five-acre Central Park and boardwalk wetlands that marry industrial legacy with contemporary liveability. With 999-year leasehold tenure and NHBC warranty, prices from £307,000 to £525,000 reflect the calibre of a district in motion, where yield-focused buyers already see mid-single-digit returns on completed stock. Completion is in hand; sibling phases follow through 2026, anchoring long-term capital growth as Zone 5 connectivity tightens and the Thames Gateway narrative matures.

Developer · The Hill Group + Peabody (JV)
Dagenham Green is a joint venture between The Hill Group (the UK's second-largest privately- owned housebuilder, Trustpilot 4.8/5) and Peabody (one of London's largest housing associations). Previous Hill-Peabody collaborations include Fish Island Village in Hackney Wick (award-winning) and Motion in Waltham Forest. Dagenham Green occupies the 45-acre former Ford Stamping & Tooling Plant. The site's heritage runs deep: Ford transferred all operations here in 1931 to a 500-acre Dagenham plant — Europe's largest at the time, employing 40,000+ — and the 1968 Ford sewing machinists' strike at this site led directly to the UK's Equal Pay Act 1970. The first phase delivers 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments across three buildings, all with outdoor space, framed by the 5-acre Central Park and The Boardwalk wetlands
