UK: Coliving operator Folk has revealed it has a 2,000-strong waiting list for its latest property, Florence Dock, in Battersea, south-west London.
The 270-unit building is expected to be completed in April and open for renters to move in from June. It is close to both Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Town Stations and will feature multiple roof terraces with views of London, a large coworking space, community kitchens, a gym, cinema room, gaming room, lounge and on-site bar.
FOLK says it has conducted extensive research with renters and taken learnings from the brand’s first coliving spaces in Harrow and Earlsfield to design its Battersea building.
Studios are priced at £1,695 per calendar month including all bills as well as access to all events and communal areas including gym, cinema and coworking space.
Paul Naylor, FOLK general manager, said: “The launch of Florence Dock in Battersea is an exciting next step in Folk’s journey as we continue to offer hassle-free co-living in London. As our brand has grown rapidly over the past year, we’ve been able to hone our offering, take all the best bits of co-living and combine them with state-of-the-art design and innovative technology to launch Florence Dock. We’ve balanced the indoor and outdoor spaces perfectly by working with architects and positioning the building riverside, and we are really excited for our first residents to sign up and move in!”
The Battersea project was forward funded by DTZ Investors’ COLIV fund and delivered by Halcyon Development Partners.
