Riverside Plaza development wins top industry awards

It was always clear that the luxury apartments at Barratt Kent’s new Riverside Plaza in Maidstone were very special indeed. And now the experts agree: the striking architecture and design of these superb homes has been recognised by no less than three top awards from the building industry’s most prestigious competitions.

Riverside Plaza received the highest accolade of a Platinum trophy at the 2007 Hot Property Awards for the quality of design and innovation, together with a Silver award in the waterside houses category. It was also crowned as Best Development at the Your New Home Awards.

Adam Lawrence, Barratt Regional Chairman, says: “We are delighted that Riverside Plaza is receiving such high recognition. This is testament to the quality and attention to detail that everyone at Barratt has dedicated to creating these new homes.”

These homes are not only of the highest quality, but are also in a wonderful position on the banks of the River Medway. To make the most of the lovely riverside views, many of the homes have their own private balcony. Yet this tranquil location could not be more convenient; the shops, restaurants and bars of Maidstone town centre are just a few minutes’ walk away and the station is within easy reach. To add to the luxury lifestyle, there is even a fitness suite on site exclusively for residents and the riverside walk has been newly restored for those who enjoy jogging or a gentle stroll.

Apartments in East Crescent, the latest phase of the development, are selling very swiftly and just a few apartments remain for sale. The interior design matches the stunning exterior of the building; an open-plan arrangement cleverly creates a very spacious environment and the homes are finished to an impeccable standard. Most of the remaining apartments have two-bedrooms or there is just one fantastic four-bedroom duplex apartment offering the luxury of over 1300 sq ft of living space.

Homes at Riverside Plaza start from £199,995 for a two-bedroom apartment, from £295,995 for a four-bedroom duplex apartment and from £319,995 for a three-bedroom townhouse. Barratt Kent is currently offering a range of incentives for first-time buyers, among which include paying your 5% deposit or paying your bills up to the value of £500 a month for a whole year.* Part-exchange is available for those looking to sell their existing home.
