A pair of show homes are set to be unveiled on Greenwich Peninsula as developer and housing association L&Q turbo-charges its marketing efforts to sell apartments at Prime Point.

Studios, one, two and three-bedroom properties are now available for private sale in the two bronze-framed towers, which rise to 29 storeys.

The new show homes, which can only be viewed by appointment, are located on the 19th floor and allow prospective buyers a glimpse into what life at Prime Point is like.

L&Q is also offering a 5% deposit contribution on selected private sale homes to boost affordability for buyers.

“Prime Point has been created with comfort, style and everyday living in mind,” said Claire Brenlund, sales and marketing director for L&Q.

“From the bespoke kitchens to private outdoor spaces and selected homes offering panoramic views, every detail has been considered to offer buyers a home they’ll love coming back to. 

“What really sets Prime Point apart is the lifestyle it unlocks – waterside walks, cultural experiences, brilliant local amenities and unbeatable transport links. 

“It’s a development that brings together design, convenience and a strong sense of place, making it an exciting choice for anyone looking to put down roots in Greenwich Peninsula.”

Prime Point connections

Located in the Brickfields area of the 150-acre Greenwich Peninsula masterplan, Prime Point is an eight-minute walk from North Greenwich station.

Connections from there put commuters in Canary Wharf in two minutes, in London Bridge in eight minutes and at Westminster in 13 minutes.

An extensive selection of bus routes also connect residents to a multitude of south-east London destinations.

Properties at Prime Point themselves include bespoke, handleless fitted kitchens with quartz worktops and integrated Siemens and Bosch appliances.

Each apartment boasts private outdoor space with many enjoying views over the surrounding skylines.

Facilities at the development include a concierge service, a residents’ lounge and landscaped communal spaces.

The area around the development continues to see significant regeneration work, building on the legacy of key attractions such as The O2, the IFS Cloud Cable Car, Design District and Ravensbourne University.

Greenwich Peninsula is becoming an increasingly desirable place to live, thanks to the arrival of a range of local amenities.

These include bars, restaurants and stores– especially the flourishing outlet shopping centre in The O2.

The Dial, a new sports bar and microbrewery, has also just opened its doors in the area, marking Meantime’s return to brewing beer in the borough.

When the tools finally go back in the van, Berkeley Capital will have delivered around 5,400 new homes on the site of the Ferrier Estate in south-east London.

Spread over 86 acres, the project is one of the larger regeneration schemes in this part of London, kicking off in 2010.

It includes Cator Park (recognised with the Sir David Attenborough award for enhancing biodiversity), two schools, a nursery, a health centre and a range of commercial spaces that have attracted the likes of Sainsbury’s, YoHome and Starbucks. It even has its own pub in the shape of The Depot on Pegler Square.

Since work began, Berkeley has delivered some 1,400 affordable homes as part of the development including 645 built in partnership with the Royal Borough Of Greenwich and housing association L&Q.

Recently council leader Cllr Anthony Okereke joined representatives from the developers and local residents to mark this milestone and officially open the latest apartments.

The properties are split between London living rent, London affordable rent and shared ownership to cater for a range of needs.

marking delivery at Kidbrooke Village

“We’re hugely proud to complete our 645th affordable home and it’s fantastic to see more households settle in,” said Justin Tibaldi, managing director of Berkeley Capital.

“Kidbrooke Village is a compelling example of successful long-term urban regeneration and has made a hugely positive difference to this part of Greenwich. 

“Partnership working has been key to that success and shows what can be achieved through a shared vision and commitment to delivery.”

Neil Davis, development delivery director at L&Q, said: “At L&Q our mission is to combine our social purpose and commercial drive to build homes and neighbourhoods everyone can be proud of and we are very proud of what this partnership has created at Kidbrooke Village.

“While this event celebrated the completion of the 645th affordable home in this superb community and almost six years of working in partnership locally, as a housing association, we will be managing these homes for decades to come. 

“So we look forward to watching the community grow even further and we will continue to provide support and exemplar services for residents.”

shared ownership options

Currently one and two-bedroom properties are available through L&Q at Kidbrooke with three-beds expected to be released soon.

Apartments feature open-plan design and full height glazing to allow plenty of natural light in.

Locally there’s an extensive children’s playground by APES (which built the award-winning facilities at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park) and a concierge service for residents.

The development is also well connected, with an on-site rail link connecting directly to the likes of Lewisham, London Bridge, Waterloo East and Victoria. Canary Wharf is about 25 minutes away with a change onto the DLR.

Cyclists can reach the likes of Lewisham and Greenwich in 16 minutes and 21 minutes respectively.
