Building on Herita ge

A NEW PROPERTY PRESERVES HISTORY

BARTS SQUARE, A MIXEDUSE REDEVELOPMENT OF ST BARTHOLOMEW’S HOSPITAL, OR BART’S, IS THE BRAINCHILD OF DEVELOPER HELICAL BAR. IT’S A RARE BREED IN A CITY WITH A PENCHANT FOR BUILDING GLASS TOWERS: AT NO MORE THAN EIGHT STOREYS HIGH, THE CITY OF LONDON DEVELOPMENT USES BRICK EXTERIORS AND SENSITIVELY BLENDS HERITAGE STRUCTURES WITH MODERN ARCHITECTURE. “WE’RE KEEPING ANY BUILDINGS THAT ARE PRE-WAR, AND GETTING RID OF THE POST-WAR ONES AS THEY WEREN’T GOING TO LAST ANYWAY,” SAYS HELICAL BAR’S NIKKI GIBBARD.

BARTS SQUARE’S 235 ONE-, TWO- AND THREE-BEDROOM APARTMENTS AND PENTHOUSES, IN 45 LAYOUTS, ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH SAVILLS HONG KONG FROM THIS MONTH. THE FIRST PHASE IS SET FOR COMPLETION IN JULY 2017.
