It is fantastic to see the scheme reaching this important stage and we look forward to welcoming residents to their new homes in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> The development's name, \"The Mercantile,\" draws inspiration from its location in Basildon's Market Square and the site's longstanding role as a place of trade and commerce.
