Welcome to Populo Living
Based in Newham, London, Populo Living is dedicated to transforming the housing landscape of the borough. As Newham’s housing company, we focus on designing and building homes that are not only functional but also enhance the community—making Newham a place where everyone can feel at home.
Our History and Expertise
Founded in 2014 as Red Door Ventures, Populo Living was initially created to address the private rental market, generating income for Newham Council. Since October 2018, under the leadership of Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz, our mission has expanded significantly. We are now committed to addressing the acute shortage of genuinely affordable homes in Newham, with plans to have over 1,000 new homes underway by March 2022. Our experience encompasses a variety of housing solutions, including private rent, social rent, and shared ownership.
Achievements and Notable Projects
Populo Living has successfully completed several developments in key areas such as Stratford, East Ham, Plaistow, and Whitechapel. Our commitment to delivering at least 50% genuinely affordable homes in all projects, in line with the Mayor of London's criteria, underscores our focus on community needs. We take pride in our role as property managers for the homes we build, ensuring a responsive and caring service for our residents.
Reputation and Vision
Populo Living is recognized for our sustainable and ethical approach to development. We adhere to all green building standards, emphasizing considerate construction practices that minimize waste, noise, and disruption. Our vision extends beyond mere construction; we are committed to revitalizing neglected areas while maintaining Newham’s rich heritage. We actively incorporate social and green spaces into our planning and promote sustainable travel initiatives, reflecting our goal to invest in the community and its people.
With public backing from Newham Council and access to council-owned land, we are poised for long-term success. Our development plans stretch into the next decade, showcasing our dedication to quality, service, and building lasting relationships with trusted partners. Together, we are making a tangible difference in Newham’s housing market and creating vibrant, livable communities.
