TELFORD HOMES’ CITYSCAPE IS THE LATEST LUXURY LAUNCH IN ALDGATE

Feb 2 2013

CITYSCAPE, a new 12-storey residential building on Commercial Street, E1, is the latest luxury residential tower to launch in the Aldgate area, the new mecca for professionals looking to buy or rent within walking distance of the City. The Telford Homes development is 128 residential apartments, including suites, one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, with a residents-only gymnasium, concierge service and roof-top terrace overlooking the City.

Aldgate, one of the City of London Corporation’s key opportunity areas, is in the midst of a residential transformation which is completely changing perceptions of the area. The creative and ambitious nature of surrounding neighborhoods such as Shoreditch and the City have infused the community with life and activity, generating new residential interest in one of London’s historic districts.

Professionals seeking homes in the City Fringe can look forward to a cosmopolitan address within close proximity to London’s key employment districts and world-class educational institutions. Residents at Cityscape will be surrounded by some of the Capital’s most exciting neighbourhoods with local highlights such as the fashionable stalls and shops in and around Spitalfields Market, the variety of bars and restaurants along popular Brick Lane, Commerical Street and in Shoreditch and Hoxton as well as over 130 art galleries in the local area including Whitechapel Gallery, The Hoxton Gallery, White Cube and Electric Blue Gallery.

Cityscape has been designed to create luxurious sanctuaries for residents. Each home benefits from its own balcony or terrace, access to a landscaped private courtyard garden and a residents-only roof terrace with incredible 360 degree views of London on which to relax and escape.

Each well-appointed home features sophisticated interiors and comes fully-fitted with the finest appliances and materials such as Villeroy & Boch bathrooms and Urban Myth kitchens. The stylish apartments will include under-floor heating in all rooms and state-of-the-art security systems with CCTV and video entry phones.

Residents at Cityscape benefit from access to Car Club facilities, secure bicycle store and underground parking by separate negotiation.

Cityscape is perfectly situated for London and access beyond, making it the perfect commuter destination. The development is a short one minute walk from Aldgate East tube station on the Circle, Hammersmith and City Lines, with Liverpool Street just one stop away or less than a ten minute walk. Moreover, the historic and international centre of finance, business and commerce, the City is a five minute walk away, home to world famous sites including the Bank of England, The London Stock Exchange and over 500 international banks and global insurance providers. The area has superb transport links to the City, Canary Wharf and West End, reachable in 4, 21 and 28 minutes respectively.

Surrounded by the City of London, the Borough of Hackney and the River Thames, Aldgate is an accessible area with a long history of enterprise and diversity. The growth of the area as a business hub in the 1980’s led to global institutions moving into the area. Historically, small cottage industries populated the district and recently fashion and jewellery designers have moved back in, creating a cultural variety of businesses in the community.

Cityscape will also see the dynamic external refurbishment of Denning Point for EastendHomes, with an investment of £4m, in addition to the provision of 68 new affordable housing apartments and 13 shared ownership.

Prices start from around £740,000 for a two bedroom apartment including parking, with first completions expected in early 2015.
