Brian De’ath, Director of Residential Sales at Braeburn Estates, commented: “The popularity of Southbank Place is proof of the hard work being put in to deliver what will be one of London’s landmark addresses. With onsite amenities including an exclusive health & fitness centre, shops, restaurants and bars, coupled with an enviable location on the South Bank, the development is becoming a go-to destination.”
“With the new Waterloo Station entrance set to open this summer, we will begin to see the development really open up to the public in the next few months. It is our work not only on the residential buildings but within the public realm as well, that will leave a lasting legacy on this wonderful area of London.”
Priya Black, Residential Development Partner at Knight Frank, added; “Southbank Place has had an incredibly successful sales rate. There continues to be a strong demand for riverside homes, especially ones that deliver iconic views and provide easy access into the City, the West End or Canary Wharf; of course, Southbank Place delivers on both. The development has proved popular with owner-occupiers and investors alike, who want to take advantage of the site’s fantastic location, exceptional local culture and transport links.”
Jeremy James, Savills Director of New Homes Sales, commented; “The apartments on offer at Southbank Place are distinctive to this area of London. Each building has its own unique character, yet each offers world-class design, beautiful interiors and exceptional residents’ facilities. The scheme has been incredibly popular since its launch in 2015 and we are now in the final stages of sales. We are now focusing on the development’s few remaining apartments, which we expect will be tied up before the site completes next year.”
