Savills Singapore, as the marketing agent, is proud to offer the first new homes to launch at Battersea Power Station, Koa at Electric Boulevard. This development features a new collection of 204 homes, comprising of studio, one-and two-bedroom apartments designed by internationally renowned architects, Foster + Partners.
Savills Singapore will be launching Koa at Electric Boulevard in Singapore on the 5th and 6th of November 2022 at The Four Seasons Hotel and prices start from £560,000 for a studio apartment.
Prospective buyers in Asia will be able to visit the showcase exhibition where they will be given the opportunity to meet members of the sales team and discover the Koa apartments and the iconic Power Station itself. The site is famed as the filming location for four-time Academy Award winner The King’s Speech and the Batman movie, The Dark Knight, and has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind retail and leisure destination.
World-class architecture
Koa at Electric Boulevard is in London Zone 1 and next to Battersea Power Station London Underground Station. These are the first new homes to be launched at Battersea Power Station since 2014. The apartments overlook a rich mix of restaurants, bars, offices and shops on Electric Boulevard, a new pedestrianised high street; thus putting residents in the heart of the new ‘15-minute’ live, work and play neighbourhood.
The collection of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments are full of character with fresh, contemporary interiors grounded in top quality finishes and natural light. Designed for the modern resident, interiors are built around flexibility and adaptability, including dedicated workspaces where possible. Two carefully designed interior palettes bring distinctly different qualities to the apartments.
‘Dawn’ takes inspiration from Foster + Partners’ bright, linear architecture with white kitchens and light stone tiling providing a series of refreshing spaces. In contrast, ‘Dusk’ features dark kitchen cabinetry and stone tiling to bathrooms, making a stylish statement and creating signature features that demand attention.
The residences at Koa follow the sinuous shape of the building’s exterior, creating unique properties with elegant curved walls. Horizontal bands break down the scale and add definition to the building, whilst floor-to-ceiling glazing, orientated to offer the best views of the Power Station, creates interiors that are flooded with natural light.
Positioned towards the southern end of Foster + Partners’ Battersea Roof Gardens, the state-of-the-art building includes one of London’s largest residential rooftop gardens, designed by James Corner of Field Operations. He was the visionary behind the New York Skyline, and LDA Design who also delivered the landscaping for Circus West Village and the Power Station, the first two phases in the Battersea Power Station development. The innovative design includes sun lawns, BBQ and picnic areas, as well as extensive flora and fauna. Other facilities include a unique 8,350 sq ft Sky Lounge with a sunset bar, workspaces, cinema room, lounge areas and a gym, spread across the top two floors of the building.
Two storeys of retail space occupy the lower floors of the development, extending the new Electric Boulevard pedestrianised high street which connects to the foot of the Power Station. Opposite the Foster + Partners building on Electric Boulevard is Gehry Partners’ Prospect Place, which has 308 residents and double-height retail units, with high street favourite, ZARA and ZARA Home (launching its first Central London store south of the river on 14th October) with supermarkets Oseyo and Marks and Spencer opening shortly.
Jacqueline Wong, Executive Director, Head of Residential Services and International Residential at Savills Singapore, comments: “With the grand opening of the shopping mall housed within the iconic Battersea Power Station (BPS), the renewed interest in this riverside location has been remarkable. The atmosphere at Battersea Power Station is extremely vibrant with an array of offerings from F&B to shopping and festivities to social gatherings. This creates and supports a strong demand from both homeowners and tenants alike. International investors, in particular Asians, will identify with the architecture of Koa at Electric Boulevard including the sky terraces and roof garden. Considering the weak pound, this is an exceptional opportunity to be part of this community.”
Simon Murphy, CEO of Battersea Power Station Development Company, says, “We’re excited to launch a new phase of apartments at Battersea Power Station, following the public opening of the Grade II* Listed Power Station on 14 October 2022. With so much of the neighbourhood now open, including the six-acre Power Station Park, our very own Zone 1 Underground station and the great mix of shops, bars, restaurants and leisure venues, there is an undeniable energy and buzz across the development, making it a truly exciting time to join the Battersea Power Station community.”
Grant Brooker, Senior Executive Partner and Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, adds, “Our aim was to create a contemporary, new mixed-use neighbourhood in the heart of London with great public transport connections, befitting its extraordinary riverside location. We’re delighted to see the final residential part of this ambitious building coming to life.”
An exciting mix of world-renowned retail and leisure brands at Electric Boulevard
Also located in Battersea Roof Gardens, of which Koa at Electric Boulevard is a part of, is a 164-room art’otel®, the brand’s first hotel to open in the UK, and home to JOIA restaurant and bar from two Michelin-starred Portuguese chef Henrique Sá Pessoa. 50 Electric Boulevard, a new 200,000 sq ft of office space for London, is also situated here and is scheduled to complete in 2023.
The launch of Koa at Electric Boulevard builds on an established global footprint of acclaimed projects from Foster + Partners, particularly in China. This latest development follows the first residents moving into Gehry Partners’ Prospect Place in April 2022 and Foster + Partners’ Battersea Roof Gardens in August 2022.
2022 is a turning point in the history of Battersea Power Station following the public opening of the Grade II* listed landmark.

Visitors will also enjoy The Cinema in the Power Station and Lift 109, a unique glass elevator experience which transports visitors 109m up to the top of the Power Station’s north west chimney, offering stunning views of the London skyline, which opens soon.
Residents and visitors to this new riverside neighbourhood can experience a variety of cultural events throughout the year with highlights including the Light Festival, Summer Showtime, and a new, recently announced winter attraction, GLIDE at Battersea Power Station, London’s newest and only riverside ice rink, which will be open from 11 November 2022 – 8 January 2023.
