FABRICA Launches City Wharf – A Canalside Development on Wharf Road, N1

14 January 2016

FABRICA by Dominion, in conjunction with Knight Frank, is launching City Wharf, on Wharf Road, N1. The scheme is set to revive this former industrial setting and fulfil a strategic component of City Road’s regeneration – enhancing the area’s status as one of the capital’s newest residential destinations.

Location: 

  • Located on Wharf Road, adjacent to the Wenlock Basin, an extension of the Regent’s Canal, City Wharf will offer residents the tranquillity of a waterside setting at the nexus between the trendy boutiques, theatres, pop up bars and café culture of Islington and the continually evolving social scene of Hoxton and Old Street, close to the creative, entrepreneurial buzz of Tech City.
  • Ideally situated within walking distance of London’s financial centre and business districts, City Wharf is the ultimate location for city professionals. Coupled with its close proximity to Angel and Old Street Underground Stations, commuters are well served for transport links across the capital. By tube, 3 minutes to Bank (The City), 4 minutes to Kings Cross St Pancras and 21 minutes to Bond Street. The imminent arrival of a direct link of Crossrail from nearby Farringdon to Heathrow Airport in 2018 will also simplify access to the major flight routes out of London. 
Property Information:
  • A collection of 327 stylish, canalside apartments of which 50 released for sale in the Merchant Building in this launch comprising studio, one, two and three bedrooms, penthouses at City Wharf enjoy high specification interiors that have taken inspiration from the area’s industrial heritage.
  • City Wharf has been designed by Stephen Marshall Architects in a striking, warehouse style that articulates the area’s past as a thriving centre for timber production and transportation. 
  • The open plan living areas have floor-to-ceiling glazing, which flood the interiors with natural light, while flexible floorplans create an adaptable living space. 
  • Bedrooms are equipped with full height, built-in wardrobes with soft closing doors and internal LED feature lighting. Each kitchen includes a wine fridge as standard, stone worktops and integrated Siemens appliances. Additional features include underfloor heating, video door entry as well as a 24-hour onsite concierge service. 
  • Residents at City Wharf will enjoy the development’s panoramic canal and city views from their private balconies, roof terraces and canalside landscaped courtyard gardens.  The scheme includes storage for over 300 bikes and underground parking is also available to some apartments. 
  • Apartment sizes in Merchant Building ranging from 409 to 1,184 sq. ft, prices starting at GBP524,500. 
Rosie Nesbitt, Sales & Marketing Director, FABRICA, comments, “The unique combination of canalside living, great transport links and an array of leisure opportunities in the immediate vicinity makes City Wharf a great investment for local purchasers and investors. Situated off City Road yet adjacent to the tranquil setting of the Wenlock Basin, City Wharf’s location offers a real point of difference. 
 
“The development’s proximity to The City, Islington and Hoxton, coupled with City Road’s ongoing regeneration ensures that each property represents a solid investment in one of the capital’s most exciting 
neighbourhoods.
 
“As the first independent development by FABRICA, we look forward to introducing owner occupiers and investors to our product, and defining ourselves through an unparalleled attention to detail and an intelligent approach to design.”
 
Seb Warner, Head of London, International Project Marketing at Knight Frank, comments, “City Wharf is the epitome of luxury canal side living in the heart of central London, the trendy bars and restaurants of Angel are minutes’ away, while the financial power house of the City is on your doorstep. 
 
“Whether you are a first time buyer, buy to let investor or student studying in London, it is without question one of the best new developments currently on the market within London. With City Wharf set to complete in March 2016 buyers are also able to secure a property before the planned stamp duty increases”
