Luxury penthouses mark end of an era

Barratt’s spectacular Capital East project in London Docklands has entered its final phase with the last of over 700 new dockside apartments now on sale. Three luxury penthouses – at prices up to £1.5 million – will provide a stunning ending to the five-year success story of Capital East.

Capital East has transformed and opened up the Royal Docks area of Docklands, extending the city lifestyle around Canary Wharf and the City itself. Comprising over 700 new apartments in a series of ten ultra-modern glass-walled buildings rising to a maximum of 18 storeys, the development covers some three acres of former dockside.

Barratt East London managing director Alastair Baird said: “These new penthouses are a fitting end to what has been one of the largest single projects in the whole of Docklands. Capital East has brought new life and vibrancy to The Royals, and when these last apartments are sold, it really will be the end of an era.”

The Royals area has boomed in recent years and is now one of the most exciting areas of Docklands. Adjacent to the ExCel Exhibition Centre and benefiting from the outstanding new transport infrastructure across Docklands, the £210 million Capital East development has brought new restaurants, offices and retail, plus dockside walks and easy access to Royal Victoria DLR Station.

Three new hotels providing over 450 rooms are also now completed on adjacent sites, joining several others in the area, and City Airport is at the far end of the dock.

Said Alastair Baird: “Capital East’s major advantage is that it overlooks one the largest open spaces in inner-London - the 235-acre expanse of the preserved Royal Docks. Nothing is ever going to change that view.

“What the Capital East penthouses offer are big apartments that are not just fabulous style statements with incredible views, but are located in an incredibly convenient place that has ‘grown up’ and joined the rest of London. With the growth of Canary Wharf and the huge investment in public transport across Docklands and eastern Greater London, there’s no better place to be.”

The new duplex penthouses at Capital East are all located over the 17th and 18th floors of the final tower. They have fully-fitted designer kitchens, complete with a full range of integrated appliances, plus fully-fitted luxury bathrooms. All have floor-to-ceiling glazing, balconies and roof terraces from which to enjoy the views, with spiral staircases linking the levels.

The apartments are served by a lift accessed through stylish common areas and there is private parking for residents. A health and fitness suite is open for the exclusive use of residents and there is a round-the-clock concierge service.

The penthouses comprise: A duplex two bedroom apartment extending to 1,177 sq ft, priced at £899,995; a duplex two-bedroom apartment of 1,189 sq ft at £949,995; and a duplex three-bedroom apartment of 1,813 at £1.5m.
