Knight Frank is appointed by Ballymore as the sales agent for a collection of 368 suite, one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, situated in Canary Wharf.
John Mulryan of Ballymore said, “This is a very exciting scheme and one which will complete the New Providence Wharf jigsaw. The vibrant, thriving professional community within Canary Wharf, coupled with the residential community we’ve already facilitated at New Providence Wharf means that it’s a unique investment opportunity for people looking to bolster their UK property portfolio. The City airport and rail links also add to this mix.”
Location
Providence Tower has been designed by international architects Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) a practice which designed London’s Bishopsgate, Terminal 3 at Changi Airport, the Hong Kong Exhibition Centre and One World Trade Centre in New York. Providence Tower is the final piece of the jigsaw at New Providence Wharf, which stands against the world-famous financial backdrop of Canary Wharf – the biggest employer of bankers in Europe. Its prominent position overlooking Europe’s banking heart makes the Tower one of London’s most exciting investment opportunities.
Recently-announced plans for the Canary Wharf area include the creation of 460,000 sq m of new office space, and in March the famous One Canada Square opened a ‘fintech’ incubator for technology start-ups on its 39th floor.
Property Information
Standing at 43 stories tall, the apartments range in size from suite at 376 sq ft to a four-bedroom of 3,944 sq ft. Prices start at £316,000. Providence Tower is expected to complete in 2015 Q4.
Providence Tower has truly panoramic views across London from each of the home’s private balconies. Residents will also enjoy exclusive use of a Sky Lounge private residents club, with 6-metre high windows which look out onto a buzzing cityscape as well as the adjacent River Thames. The proximity of the river gives New Providence Wharf a sense of tranquillity, and all of the site’s 8.2 acre grounds are fully-landscaped and criss-crossed by serene pathways and lawns. This landscaped setting is a counter balance to the 24/7 energy of Canary Wharf’s financial heartbeat.
Internal
The internal aspects of Providence Tower are of an equal calibre. It is meticulously designed and the homes within it feature elegant open plan living spaces that again maximise the panoramic views. Attention to detail has been paid in the functional areas of the apartments; kitchens have integrated appliances while bathrooms have stylish mounted basins and accessories.
Transportation
Given the proximity of the vibrant city, future residents at the Tower will also benefit from outstanding public transport links with short journey times to the City, West End and Airports; City Airport is a mere ten minute connection on the DLR and offers passengers direct routes to Europe and New York. Canary Wharf’s new Crossrail Station hub is just a few minutes’ walk away, allowing residents to get to Heathrow Airport in just 40 minutes.
Facilities
As well as the homes there is a wealth of site facilities for the exclusive use of New Providence Wharf residents will include the new NPW Athletic Club with full-length beep test track, boxing ring, 25 metre swimming pool and steam, sauna and hydro areas; as well as the new NPW Business Centre with office and meeting facilities. This will be backed up with a concierge service, valet parking, and comprehensive security infrastructure. Additionally, the estate is anchored by a Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel with a full suite of services, including The East River Spa, available to all residents.
Business Centre
The Business Centre is a haven of peace and quiet: it’s fully wifi-enabled and printer-equipped, making it the perfect place to touch base with your laptop, to hot desk at one of the workstations, or to host business colleagues in one of the dedicated meeting rooms.
A property exhibition will be held at East & West Rooms, 23/F, Mandarin Oriental, 5 Connaught Road, Central, Hong Kong on 20 & 21 April 2013 from 11am to 7pm.
