Rejuvenated historic London Docks is site of new residential project

 

Leading London developer St George is set to launch London Dock in Southeast Asia in Singapore this weekend on 18 and 19th of October.

 

London Dock, located in central London, will provide one, two, and three bedroom apartments, as well as premium hotel-style facilities, open spaces and a unique 375-metre promenade. London Dock is ideally located adjacent to the City, Tower Bridge, St Katharine Docks, Canary Wharf and the River Thames.
 
London Dock combines modern city living with riverside wharves and cobbled streets, in one of London’s most historic neighbourhoods. The development is expected to attract unprecedented interest, with its unique design by an award-winning architecture practice, Patel Taylor, and exceptional landscaping.

 

The dramatic rejuvenation of the site, once synonymous with Britain’s vast naval trade and part of the original London Docks which operated until 1969, will include stunning new buildings set in landscaped open space, including two new public squares and a unique 375-metre promenade. The buildings will create a distinct new residential quarter boasting views towards the City, Tower Bridge, St Katharine Docks, Canary Wharf and the River Thames.

 

Interior architect, 1508 London, has designed the homes to capture the essence of the docks, creating modern spaces inspired by the diverse imports and exports that passed through the gates of London Dock, with colours, textures and materials combining to produce crisp, clean interiors.

 

As well as an array of new shops and leisure facilities, residents at London Dock will have access to hotel-style exclusive facilities, including; 24 hour concierge, managed car parking, a health and fitness suite with a gymnasium, 20 metre indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and squash court, as well as a treatment room, private screening room and virtual golf suite. The sensitive restoration of the Grade-II listed Pennington Street Warehouse will be the commercial heart of the development. The 315-metre listed warehouse, featuring an impressive vaulted basement rich in original features, including the portholes through which barrels of rum were once delivered from the dock, will become a Covent Garden style commercial space, accommodating an eclectic mix of uses.

 

Central to the design are a series of impressive public spaces with different characters and styles. At the heart of London Dock will be Gauging Square – a vibrant square including a spectacular water feature, surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. Arrival Square will form a dramatic and colourful gateway to London Dock, while the lush green landscaped Market Gardens and private Water Gardens are the perfect places for peace and reflection.

 

Stephen Ho, Director, International Project Marketing, CBRE said “London continues to grow from strength to strength and the supply of high-quality centrally-located homes is limited, making this an excellent purchase for either owner occupiers or investors.”

 

St George has appointed award-winning architecture practice, Patel Taylor, to create a new London quarter. Co-founder, Andrew Taylor commented “The opportunity to create rich new public spaces is very exciting. The high quality public spaces will provide an attractive setting for the first phase of the development, featuring a large open piazza with an interactive water feature, landscaping, shops, bars and restaurants. These aspects combine to create a space where people will want to live, work, and socialise – this is the essence of placemaking.”

 

The exhibition in Singapore will be held at the Four Seasons Hotel this weekend, 11am – 7pm on both 18 and 19 of October, East Room, Level 20.
