Marina lifestyle within commuting distance of London

Marina Point West, the long awaited final phase at The Quays, Chatham Maritime, has launched. The landmark 21-storey, 55m tower of 118 apartments, plus two penthouses, is situated on the bank of the River Medway, set amongst extensive new leisure and retail facilities. Delivered by Ardmore, prices start at £115,000 for a studio apartment.

The Quays, Chatham Maritime offers superb value for a waterside lifestyle within daily commuting distance to London. Standing like lighthouses on the Medway, the towers can be seen from all directions and the views from them are truly panoramic.

Surrounded by two historic dock basins and a 310 berth marina in Chatham, The Quays is comprised of 332 studio, one and two-bedroom apartments split between two towers and two low-rise wharf buildings. One of the two low-rise wharf buildings, Chatham Wharf, is residential, while the other offers 60,000 sq ft of bar, restaurant, leisure and retail uses.

Chatham’s ancient history and outstanding role in the maritime history of the UK remain visible, adding character and life to the community. The combination of shops, riverside walks, the cinema, the Historic Dockyard and Dickens World, all within a short walking distance, make Chatham Maritime a stimulating destination.

A Ramada Encore Hotel, with the Hub bar and lounge is located here, as well as the Dockside outlet centre, open seven days a week, anchored by Marks and Spencer and a new Range department store. Other retailers include Nike, Mountain Warehouse and Clarks. Amenities also include a nine screen Odeon cinema, Boomers, Caffe Fratelli, Nandos, Pizza Hut and a Chinese restaurant. Visitor attractions include the famous Dickens World and Chatham historic dockyard which is an important part of English heritage.

The universities of Greenwich, University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church and Mid Kent College all share a campus at Chatham Maritime.

Sales are complete at the first phase of The Quays, which included Marina Point East (94 apartments plus two penthouses), a 17-storey, 43 m tower and The Wharf (116 apartments), a low rise five-storey residential building.

Peel Holdings has recently received planning permission for Chatham Waters, a 26 acre £650m mixed use development at Chatham Docks which will bring a further 3,500 jobs to the area as well as offices, an education facility, an ‘EventCity’, hotel and food store as well as landscaped public areas.
