Dubai-based developer Arada proposes a major mixed development in east London, planning a new town project worth about £2.5 billion. According to reports, the proposal centers on an initial phase of around 1,500 homes under the name “Thameside West,” located in the Royal Docks area, which is described as having been previously underdeveloped. The development is set on banks of the River Thames and is positioned near landmarks including the O2. The wider plan is described as aiming for roughly 5,000 homes in total, with additional public space included, such as a public park. The sources indicate the project would be delivered as part of a larger redevelopment scheme for the area, though details such as final layout, timelines, and planning outcomes are not provided in the available material. The proposal is framed as expanding housing supply in east London while also including public amenities, subject to the local planning process.
