New Festival Quarter benefits from Crossrail effect
According to Hamptons International , transactions for properties within a mile of a Crossrail station grew by 21% in 2013, compared with the London average of 13%, and New Festival Quarter from Bellway Homes certainly echoes this London-wide trend.
Located just under a mile from Canary Wharf and benefitting from stunning views across the capital, New Festival Quarter in E14 is an exciting development that epitomises the ‘Crossrail effect’. The final release of homes in the last phase of this attractive development are now on sale and interested has already been extremely strong.
Speaking about the next phase of homes released for sale at the development, Peter Knights, Sales Director at Bellway Homes Thames Gateway said: “New Festival Quarter has been a popular development since it was first launched, but in 2013 we have really seen an increased appetite to purchase a home here and this has continued into 2014. With excellent facilities including 24 concierge service and private residents’ gym, New Festival Quarter offers so much more than a base for Canary Wharf.”
