Powerhouse: Riverfront living with a legacy of over 100 years in central London

Standing tall in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is a brand-new residential development, carrying with it a legacy of over 100 years. From being a symbol of London’s industrial might that powered the city’s railway and Tube network to a beacon of luxury living by the River Thames, Lots Road Power Station has seen a transformation like none other from the 20th to the 21st century.

A timeless piece of London’s history, this is the city’s last of three power station buildings with an exceptional restoration story. During its glory days, Lots Road’s 275-foot chimneys were Europe’s tallest at the time. This symbol of the capital’s glorious past is now available for discerning buyers who wish to make it a part of their own promising future. Leading mixed-use architect, Farrells London has contributed to the 8.85-acre transformation of this iconic landmark as part of the Chelsea Waterfront masterplan. Farrells’ efforts also included meticulous restoration of varying brick colours to match the original character of the power station.

Steeped in such a rich history, the 199 luxury apartments at Powerhouse provide stylish waterfront residences. Designed by leading London-based landscape architect Randle Siddeley, this development features beautiful flower gardens inspired by the horticulture marvels of the Chelsea Flower Show. Hong Kong’s leading waterfront development expert, CK Asset Holdings has revived this historic building and brought it back to life for property buyers to not just own an elegant riverside home but also be a part of the city’s electrifying power revolution.

Upscale London lifestyle and amenities

The developer of Powerhouse has ensured that the legacy of the building is reminiscent throughout. With a solid granite desk at the entrance lobby, residents are greeted by a 24-hour concierge in a light-filled atrium featuring a blend of artistic installations, evergreen trees and flowing water. The 20-metre swimming pool and spacious fitness centre with a gym, sauna and steam room will cater to the lifestyle needs of all residents.

The residents’ lounge provides a comfortable co-working environment with stunning river views, and the al fresco dining options, including a restaurant and a cafe to ensure residents and guests get treated to a wide range of culinary delights. Secure underground parking is also available at an additional cost at the development, which is highly recommended if you are considering buying for rental investment purposes.
