Savills Singapore and JLL, as exclusive joint marketing agents, are pleased to present the first opportunity to acquire a net zero apartment at The Founding, Canada Water in London’s newest and most sustainable district.
The Founding, Canada Water is a collection of 186 studio, one, two- and three-bedroom net zero apartments housed in a 35-storey residential building, located within Zone 2 in London. This new central London district is undergoing a rejuvenation as a place to live, work, play and relax.
The expansive open plan homes in The Founding will provide unique panoramic views across London from large, metal framed feature windows and private balconies. The homes boast of carefully curated bespoke interiors of brushed stainless steel, matte finish feature ironmongery, polished concrete-style worktops and European oak flooring to reflect the area’s rich heritage as a former shipping and timber heartland and a working dock during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Moreover, a mix of natural and sustainable materials have been incorporated to create a contemporary and elegant feel – a homage to the 130 acres of surrounding woodlands, parks, docks and waterways and the sustainable vision of the Canada Water masterplan.
Three separate and distinctly designed roof gardens on floors 6, 29 and 32 will feature extensive and lush landscapes inspired by tropical rainforests. From these rooftops, residents will enjoy exclusive skyline views of sunrise looking east over the River Thames to Canary Wharf, and sunset looking west with the stunning London skyline of Tower Bridge, The Shard and St Paul’s Cathedral.
Canada Water, developer British Land’s 53-acre masterplan, is set to deliver between 2,000 and 4,000 new homes, office space for an estimated 20,000 workers and around one million sq ft of leisure, cultural and education facilities. This once in a lifetime project will be a net-zero neighbourhood by 2030, achieved through materials innovation and a sustainability first approach to all elements of design and construction.
Canada Water will also introduce 12 acres of new open space, including a 3.5-acre park, a new Town Square, and 16 new streets. The destination is served by the train and bus services, with proximity to the best of art, culture, nature and nightlife that London has to offer.
Simon Capp, Head of Residential Sales at British Land says, “Since we launched The Founding last year, we’ve seen ongoing interest from astute buyers who recognise the value in early adoption of a new development. The first phase of a ten-year masterplan at Canada Water, The Founding is a rare opportunity to be among the first to buy into this incredible place, and our sales to date show people recognise the value in this.
Canada Water’s Zone 2 location provides easy access across central London, with superb connectivity from Canada Water station located just one minute from the front door. Its high-class interior design by Conran and Partners brings the heritage of location into the 21st century, enhanced by delivery from a leading REIT in British Land and AustralianSuper, who have a track record in creating world class places across the UK.”
Ruben Koh, Senior Director, Head of International Residential Sales at Savills Singapore shares, “Sustainability is increasingly becoming something that people feel they can contribute to, in their own way. Thus, the net zero apartments at The Founding, Canada Water are appealing because buyers are looking for areas that provide a natural environment and a resilient, sustainable urban fabric, that will add value to their recreational time as well. Schemes such as Canada Water provide a valuable opportunity to build nature into the core of a development offering. The apartments at The Founding have been created with huge attention to detail, and stunning outside spaces. Its proximity to train and bus services to central London makes this an investment that will grow in value over time.”
James Puddle, Head of Residential Development Sales - South East Asia, JLL says, "As we embark on this exciting joint exhibition with JLL and Savills, it's clear that The Founding at Canada Water represents not just a new chapter in London’s residential scene, but a bold step forward in sustainable urban living. This project perfectly encapsulates our commitment to creating vibrant, sustainable communities that cater to the modern lifestyle while respecting our environment. We are thrilled to be at the forefront of this transformation, offering residents a unique blend of luxury, convenience, and green living right in the heart of the city."
Sales of The Founding, Canada Water is launching in Singapore on 18 & 19 May 2024 at voco Orchard, Malaysia Room, Level 5.
