UK: Anchor’s Point, the rental phase of the Gallions Green development in London’s Docklands will be transferred to Sigma Capital this month.
The BTR homes will be managed under the Simple Life London rental brand. Anchor’s Point includes 132 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and uplexes. Amenities include a gym, coworking space, a residents’ lounge and concierge.
The Gallions Green development is the penultimate phase of the wider Royal Albert Wharf masterplan in the Royal Docks. The development is welcoming its first residents as it reaches practical completion. The scheme includes two buildings with a total of 267 new homes – of which 132 homes are BTR. More than half of the homes are affordable housing, with 40 per cent being larger homes designed for families.
The Gallions Green project is a joint venture partnership between housing association Notting Hill Genesis and mixed-used developer Telford Homes. The pair secured the forward-sale of the Build to Rent element in early 2023, which is being delivered on behalf of a joint venture between EQT Exeter and Sigma Capital Group.
Stuart Churchward of Simple Life London said: “We’re really excited to take handover of our blocks at Anchor’s Point and look forward to offering local renters a high-quality home with a refreshing, professional approach to renting. We’ve experienced high levels of local interest so far, so we’re expecting the development to prove very popular. This is set to become a very vibrant and sought-after community to be a part of.”
Anne Kavanagh, CEO of Telford Homes, said: “We are proud to be working in partnership with Notting Hill Genesis on the penultimate phase of the Royal Albert Wharf masterplan, delivering high-quality homes that focus on community and will be a place that residents can live, work and play for years to come.”
Once complete, Royal Albert Wharf will include 1,856 homes, 9,100 square metres of commercial space, and affordable studio space for artists and the creative sectors.
