Ethical Investment
IXO is a purpose-driven ethical developer focused on “Community Wealth Building” with social, environmental, and economic impact. Its majority investor in New River Place is an FCA-regulated Co-operative and Community Benefit Society that has supported over 10,000 homeless people and which currently houses 1,500 people.
Embedded Community Partnership
IXO is working with the 125-year-old RCC charity (now the RCC Foundation) to redevelop the site into a modern, flexible community hub. The proposal builds on RCC’s legacy and supports services including the food bank, supported living, youth groups, and a fully-subscribed nursery with wrap-around care.
Aspirational
IXO aims to replace the community hub while meeting Newham’s strategic goals, to improve connectivity and enhance the setting of the Grade II listed church. To support these goals and increase affordable housing, the proposal includes shared living (Purpose-Built Shared Living), within a mixed use community offer that places sustainability at its core.
Shared Living
Provides housing for a variety of types of individuals, and combines well with Community and Social Housing. This will contribute towards the delivery of mixed and balanced communities in the Canning Town area.

The RCC site provides a fantastic opportunity for a Shared Living operator to work alongside an existing organisation, to create a bespoke offer – rooted in its place and integrated into the local community from day one.

Our response is evolving to complement the retained heritage assets on the site, as well as the needs of the local community.
