A dynamic new development for the heart of Chelsea

Manhattan Loft Corporation and The Trevor Osborne Property Group are delighted to launch ‘Chelsea Apartments’ - an iconic curvaceous landmark, with 24 private apartments and one penthouse, designed by Royal Opera House architects Dixon Jones, in the heart of Chelsea.

Chelsea Apartments’ curved façade will bring a bold new distinctive contemporary presence in SW10 and will act as a ‘hinge’ between the two streets – Hortensia Road and Fulham Road. Sited next to the Kensington and Chelsea College of Art, the Grade II listed 1910 Sloane Building, and a Romanesque church with octagonal Baptistery. Chelsea Apartments is a short minute walk from Marco Pierre White’s new restaurant and a stroll to all Chelsea’s fashionable shops and restaurants.

Chelsea Apartments is a stunning six storey, 33, 526 sq ft (net) apartment building with curved terraces and amazing panoramic views of London, containing just 24 private one, two and three bedroom apartments, ranging from £1 million to £2 million. Plus one awe-inspiring penthouse extending along the entire 6th floor, with its own private entrance, three ensuite bedrooms and staff accommodation. The penthouse price is available on request.

Construction begins on site in June 2008 and completion is due in summer 2010. Savills is the sole agent. For sales see Thechelseaapartments.co.uk.

The Patrick Caulfield Foundation (the late, great Chelsea trained artist) has been commissioned by Manhattan Loft Corporation and The Trevor Osborne Group to create a striking site hoarding to reflect both Chelsea’s strong artistic cultural heritage, and the belief that the quality of Dixon Jones’ architectural design will inject even greater vibrancy into this dynamic area.

Filling a conspicuous gap in the streetscape, the Chelsea Apartments building is stepped back with a series of curved terraces. Clad in red brick with stone dressings, in tune with its neighbours, Chelsea Apartments has an uncompromising modern yet classic dignity, an elegance and presence which are timeless. Full height sliding windows open on to living spaces. On the third to sixth floors, French doors provide access to timber decked balconies. The emphasis, both on the exterior and interior, is on high quality design and sophistication.

Harry Handelsman, CEO of Manhattan Loft Corporation, said, “Chelsea Apartments’ modern classical design by the architects Dixon Jones compliments the sophistication and elegance of Chelsea.”

Trevor Osborne, Chairman of The Trevor Osborne Property Group, said, “Living in Chelsea is great; living at Chelsea Apartments will be an even greater privilege. It is destined to become one of London’s best addresses.”

Chelsea Apartments is the first phase of a radical master plan created by the partnership of developers Manhattan Loft Corporation and The Trevor Osborne Property Group, their architects, and Kensington and Chelsea College, which includes an outstanding new educational facility and restoration of the Victorian buildings.
