Victory Pier wins Medway Culture and Design Award

Berkeley is celebrating the success of its development Victory Pier in the 2012 Medway Culture and Design Awards. The waterside development in Gillingham received a Highly Commended award in the competitive New Build category.

The awards, organised by Medway Council, were presented at a ceremony in December to celebrate Medway’s excellence in arts, culture, design and heritage, as well as identifying outstanding achievements and contributions to the area.

Victory Pier received glowing praise from the judges, who said, “This scheme is of iconic importance to Medway and has attracted a great deal of recognition. It occupies a strategically important site showing really high quality of design and finish throughout.”

The award-winning development has been hugely influential in regenerating the 20-acre site overlooking the river Medway into a vibrant waterside community. When complete the waterfront village will include 775 new homes, a variety of shops and restaurants, a 120-bed hotel and new marina style moorings.

Richard Elliot, Berkeley sales and customer relations manager said, “We are delighted that Victory Pier was Highly Commended, the category covered all building types built in the past two years, so the competition was strong. We are immensely proud of this recognition and our commitment to the regeneration of the area.”

Already 17 homes have been reserved off-plan in the latest phase, Marina Heights, which in total comprises 87 suites, one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Richard adds, “With first completions expected in the summer, now is a great time to buy – and if you’re quick there’s still time to personalise your new home with a range of kitchens, tiling and flooring to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a permanent home, investment or summer retreat, Victory Pier suits all lifestyles.”

Prices start from £114,950 for a Manhattan suite, from £129,950 for a one-bedroom apartment, two-bedroom apartments start from £174,950 and three-bedroom apartments start from £260,000.
