Nine Elms in Battersea: 955 new flats on former gasworks site between Battersea Dogs' Home and the iconic power station
New apartments at Prince of Wales Drive are up to 15 per cent larger than the minimum space standard set by the Mayor of London.
And with deep, recessed balconies plus dual- or triple-aspect views, they feel even roomier.
The scheme of 955 homes with one, two or three bedrooms is on a former gasworks site between Battersea Dogs' Home and the iconic power station.
It takes its architectural cue from nearby Victorian park-side mansion blocks. Related streetscaping improvements and public art have tidied up grimy railway arches and created a pedestrian-friendly route to Battersea Park.
St William, the developer, has also upgraded the interior design by pre-installing roller blinds and opting for underfloor heating to free up wall space.
Tastefully designed communal areas, rather than sterile hotel-like corridors, are another bonus.
Plus there are private gardens and roof terraces, concierge, gym, pool and spa.
Prices from £700,000. Call 020 3053 6901 for more details.
