Construction is now in the final stages at Chancellor Court, Fresh Lime Development’s site in Regents Park Road, Finchley, due to be completed by the end of this year.
Chancellor Court is close to Kinloss (Finchley United Synagogue) and directly opposite College Farm. During construction, the hoarding surrounding the site has been a highlight of the area, with its colourful illustrations, courtesy of the winner of last year’s JC competition.
The luxury residential development offers eight apartments, with designer kitchens and bathrooms, AV systems, underground parking and spacious balconies looking out over a green landscape. Seventy five per cent of the apartments are already sold and agent, Debbie Ingram reports significant interest in the remaining two.
“As a grade II listed building, College Farm is a designated conservation area, so nothing can ever block the unique view that all the residents will enjoy from Chancellor Court,” says Michael Bibring, co-founder of Fresh Lime.
The developer also has schemes under construction in Golders Green; Whetstone; Brondesbury Park and Woodside Park.
BOURNEMOUTH
In Bournemouth, construction is due to start later this year on a prestigious hotel and residential seafront site where Fresh Lime is working with hotel partner Malmaison.
