West Grove at Elephant Park opens its show home
The regeneration of Elephant & Castle continues to build up strong momentum as the latest phase of homes go on sale at the second phase of Elephant Park — known as West Grove — a central part of the 2,500 community of homes being delivered by Lend Lease.
Designed by award-winning architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris and Panter Hudspith Architects, West Grove comprises 593 homes located across eight apartment buildings which are a mix of mid-rise mansion buildings and towers that vary from five to 31 storeys. Homes look out over two residents’ courtyards offering a distinctive woodland or orchard landscape, as well as ample play areas, relaxed seating and richly varied planting designed by landscape architects Gillespies.
The development comprises suites, one, two and three-bedroom apartments which offer a private terrace or balcony and access to a range of amenities including a 24-hour concierge service, gym facilities, function rooms, and a lobby area which provides a welcoming “third space” to work, socialise and relax. Residents’ grow gardens in each courtyard offer the chance to plant and nurture vegetables and herbs.
The homes will act as a benchmark for sustainable living in the UK, with the homes being 30 per cent more energy-efficient than current regulations require and which use 30 per cent less water than the average London home.
West Grove will be ideally located to enjoy a vibrant new shopping street that runs throughout Elephant Park, where a range of independent shops will sit alongside cafés and bars. Up to 13 independent shops in West Grove will be delivered in addition to a new foodstore, up to nine high street shops along the Walworth Road and a restaurant facing Walworth Square, a brand new civic square that will be at the heart of the local community. Prices start at £430,000. Rob Heasman, Lend Lease’s Project Director for Elephant & Castle, said, “Our vision is to create a vibrant neighbourhood, where people from diverse backgrounds love where they live. Every single element of the design of the homes, the communal facilities and the retail offering aims to deliver that.
The new Marketing Suite and show home that shows a typical two bed home at West Grove, is now open! To book your appointment, please contact Lend Lease on 020 3675 9955 or welcomehome@lendlease.com. Building work has recently commenced on the first 360 homes at Elephant Park and work is also over halfway complete at One The Elephant, a landmark, 37-storey building consisting of 284 new homes. Trafalgar Place — the first development to reach completion with 235 homes — is now welcoming its first residents who have moved in this Spring.
