Sales soar at Skyline Plaza in Basingstoke

As soon as the news emerged that Berkeley Homes was planning to create an iconic new apartment development in the heart of Basingstoke, literally hundreds of people registered their interest.

Now that the first collection of homes have recently been released for sale, the excitement in this superb development is continuing unabated; in less than one week, 25 apartments have already been reserved, with the official launch of the development set for Saturday, 15th and Sunday, 16th September.

Skyline Plaza will ultimately provide 375 new apartments and penthouses with the tallest point, “The Tower”, soaring to 19 storeys high, making it Basingstoke’s tallest building and a landmark for the town.

“We always expected that the striking appearance and wonderfully central location of Skyline Plaza would capture home buyers’ imagination, but we have been overwhelmed by the level of interest,” comments David Campbell, Sales and Marketing Director for Berkeley Homes Southern. “It is enormously pleasing that this interest is now being translated into sales and I strongly recommend anyone interested in buying a home at Skyline Plaza to act quickly.”

Romans, the appointed selling agents, recently hosted an outstandingly successful evening for potential investors in Skyline Plaza. Andy Meade, Regional Head of New Homes at Romans, adds: “Skyline Plaza is perfect for investors: superb apartments in a fantastic location, with excellent transport links and access to plenty of potential tenants in the town. Our guests clearly agreed and I’m delighted to report that we took 11 reservations on the evening, which shows tremendous confidence in the local market.”

It is easy to see why Skyline Plaza is attracting so much attention. The building itself oozes style; originally used as offices by IBM, the building is undergoing an ‘extreme makeover’ and is being re-clad with a blue and white render, timber cladding and large expanses of glazing. Two new storeys are also being added which will provide fantastic duplex penthouses with ‘wraparound’ terraces giving panoramic views across the town and countryside beyond. 225 of the homes will be for private sale and 150 are being made available for shared ownership. The homes range from studio and ‘Manhattan’ style one-bedroom apartments, to one and two-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom duplexes and penthouses. Reflecting the influence of smart London developments, Skyline Plaza will provide a concierge service and a crèche within the building.

Skyline Plaza could not be better placed for easy day-to-day living. Commuters will have just a short stroll to Basingstoke mainline station, which provides fast and frequent services into London’s Waterloo and Paddington stations in little more than 35 minutes.

Those wishing to purchase as an investment will benefit from Skyline Plaza’s close proximity to the major businesses based in Basingstoke, many of which employ in large numbers and often seek corporate lettings.

Also on the doorstep is Festival Place, the region’s premier shopping and entertainment centre with 165 shops, 28 restaurants bars and cafés, a 10-screen cinema, night club, top notch sports centre and even a library.

The apartments at Skyline Plaza will suit everyone from first-time buyers and investors to those seeking a superb luxury penthouse home. Prices start from just £99,950 for a studio apartment.

The marketing suite featuring four show apartments will open to the public on Saturday, 15th September at 10am.
