Get in gear for a new home at new Providence Wharf
The most recent census by the Office for National Statistics has revealed that between 2001 and 2011, the number of Londoners cycling to work more than doubled. For this growing army of cycling commuters, proximity to the expanding Santander cycle hire point will be essential, and they don’t come much more convenient than Jessops building at Genesis’ New Providence Wharf development. Boasting a short and easy cycle commute to the City and located within walking distance of a “Boris bike” hire point, the development in Poplar, E14, is a cyclist’s haven.
With several Santander hire points nearby on Preston Way and Preston’s Road, as well as the London cycle network running through the centre of Poplar, New Providence Wharf offers a fantastic opportunity to join the fitness enthusiasts of London and be part of the cycling community, at an affordable price.
Anthony Harker, Head of Commercial at Genesis, says of the new homes: “Jessops Building at Ballymore’s New Providence Wharf is ideally located for those who prefer to get around on two wheels. We are delighted to learn that Santander plans to expand the network, to ensure that more of London’s commuters and fitness fanatics can take advantage of this healthy alternative. On the doorstep of London’s cycle superhighway, and within a stone’s throw of two cycle hire points, Jessops Building is gearing up to be a pedal-powered paradise.”
Currently available at Jessops Building in New Providence Wharf is a selection of one and two bedroom apartments designed to a contemporary specification. They are spacious, accompanied by balconies to most apartments, perfect for al fresco dining in the coming summer months. Kitchens in all properties feature fitted units offering integrated Bosch appliances including dishwasher and washing machine, granite worktops and chrome finishes. Bedrooms in all apartments are spacious, and all rooms enjoy full height windows for plenty of natural light, balconies and wooden flooring.
A hub of activity, New Providence Wharf is becoming a destination in its own right. The area is bustling with an array of eateries and bars, hotels, private health spa and gymnasium, in the shadow of Canary Wharf. Across the river, the O2 Arena boasts one of the largest live venues, home to various sports and entertainment shows, as well as a plethora of bars and eateries, cinema and the famous Indigo2 nightclub.
For those less inclined to cycle, the development is ideally located for a superb range of local transport. Just a few minutes’ walk from New Providence Wharf is Blackwall DLR station, from where trains boast journey times of just 13 minutes into Bank and six to Canary Wharf, making the new homes ideal for City workers and commuters alike. Several bus routes operate in the local area also, with destinations including Trafalgar Square, Stratford and Highbury & Islington.
The homes at New Providence Wharf are available through a shared ownership scheme allowing buyers to purchase between 25% and 75% of the property, paying subsidised rent on the remainder. Residents can then increase their share at any time, all the way up to 100% and outright ownership. The scheme is specifically designed for first time buyers whose household income is less than £71,000 a year and priority will be given to those who live or work in Tower Hamlets.
Prices at New Providence Wharf start from £93,688 for a 25% share based on a full market value of £374,750 for a one bedroom apartment. To register your interest and for more information visit genesishahomes.org.uk.
