When fully complete, the two schemes will have replaced a series of unsightly commercial buildings in an area of Kensington that had previously been neglected.
Paul Vallone, Executive Chairman, St Edward said: "The launch of Kensington Row represents a pivotal milestone for the area and St Edward. As well as creating a large number of desirable new homes, it marks another step towards the completion of the Warwick Road masterplan that had been set out by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to breathe new life into the area and create much needed new housing.
"The community and our prospective buyers are at the very heart of the scheme with careful and tireless attention to detail paid to the design and layouts of the new homes and helping to transform the local streetscape into an attractive environment for all who live and work in the area.
"With completions already underway at 375 Kensington Street and the creation of the new public linear park, you can really see this community come together."
