What’s it like to work for Populo?
Like the most dynamic start-ups, Populo’s growing team is united by a single purpose: making Newham home. Our employees come from a wide range of backgrounds in the private and public sectors, while our boards are made up of industry leaders from across the real estate sector, providing the best-in-class governance and strategic insight.
We work hard, and we work smart. We operate in an open and collegiate way, encouraging people to take responsibility and use initiative. We also encourage the team to be adaptable and promote agile working to ensure that our core business objectives get delivered. This may mean that you will enjoy a more wide ranging and valued role than working for larger businesses.
Careers at the Carpenters
The Carpenters Estate regeneration will create over 2,300 modern homes built with high quality materials, designed to last a lifetime. Houses and maisonettes will sit at the heart of the transformed estate, with taller buildings towards to the edge and 50% of the accommodation will be genuinely affordable.
With a positive resident ballot, our resident-led masterplan will see the delivery of one of the largest and most ambitious estate regeneration and restoration projects in London.
The Carpenters Estate covers a 28-acre site in the heart of vibrant Stratford and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The Estate is located next to the East Bank (a new powerhouse for innovation, creativity and learning), Westfield Stratford City, Stratford Station (the UK’s busiest station) and bustling Stratford High Road. Populo is actively building links with our new neighbours in the area such as UCL and V&A.
The masterplan proposes 28,000 sqm of commercial space including a new cafes, restaurants, shops, workshop space, and a hotel. Work is already underway on James Riley Point, our Passivhaus EnerPHit tower block retrofit, with subsequent phases now preparing to apply for planning permission.
The Carpenters Estate represents an opportunity on a ground breaking urban regeneration project, that's trialling new approaches to change.
