About Populo
Populo is Newham Council's wholly owned housing company, and we work hard to do development better. We design and build better homes and places, using our development management services to get the best outcome on Newham's land.
We are making Newham home for everyone, and our environmentally friendly developments nurture new communities and strengthen existing ones, with all our residents enjoying excellent standards of design and attention to detail.
Renting for Good means that every penny of your rent goes to Newham Council to create more new homes, with the maximum amount of affordable homes on every site. Through this we work to build a fairer outcome for Newham and its residents, while delivering amazing homes that residents love living in.
The Populo Living Group
The Populo Living Group consists of three companies:
- Populo Living – managing homes to rent and for shared ownership on the open market
- Populo Homes – our registered social provider business, managing high quality genuinely affordable social homes in Newham
- Populo Design & Build – the business overseeing design and construction, working with partners and suppliers
All the companies share the same vision and values. Populo’s funding for developments is subject to the approval, overview and scrutiny of Newham Council’s Cabinet.
Our Values
‘Populo’ means ‘with the people’, and our brand values reflect this:
We Build Better
We believe everyone deserves a home with the best possible design, build and management standards, while ensuring value for money.
We Build Thoughtfully
We are curious about people and places and innovate to deliver quality homes responsibly and sustainably. We are passionate that what we do matters.
We Build Communities
We put people first, with Newham at the heart of everything we do, from investing in existing communities to creating new ones. We engage with and value our residents as our success depends on embracing their diversity.
Our Business Plan
Populo Living has serious plans to deliver more homes for Newham, with an emphasis on affordability, Community Wealth Building, placemaking and community. We are closely aligned with the Council's ambitions for its residents, such as its Growth Plan.
