New homes in Cambridge set launch this weekend

This weekend will see the first release of the next phase of striking new apartments at Crest Nicholson’s inspirational Kaleidoscope development, one of the most desirable addresses in Cambridge.

Due to be released on Saturday 10th October 2009, The Sepia Building will provide an attractive collection of highly contemporary one and two bedroom apartments. Potential purchasers will have the opportunity to purchase an apartment off-plan and with interest levels already high, the new apartments are expected to prove popular even in the current financial climate.

Annette Cole, Sales and Marketing Director at Crest Nicholson (Eastern) comments: “Kaleidoscope has been an enormously successful development for Crest Nicholson. Purchaser feedback from the initial phase of the development tells us that its success is down to a combination of factors, including the development’s imaginative architecture which is complemented by stylish interior living spaces, as well as its location in one of the most desirable areas of the city, within easy walking distance of the city centre, with the station and university close by. With this in mind we are expecting to see the next phase of properties to sell quickly.”

Ideal for those looking to make the most out of living at the heart of this historic university city, Kaleidoscope boasts a sophisticated range of 408 properties in total. The development has been meticulously master-planned to create a lively community with a strong sense of place. Designed by award-winning architects Proctor and Matthews, whose other work includes the Greenwich Millennium Village, the development incorporates traditional, locally sourced materials with the architecture imaginatively using feature panels in a variety of colours. Combining a sleek, modern exterior with a classic and stylish interior, homes at Kaleidoscope will, when complete, be dispersed across 11 architecturally unique buildings and landscaped areas that will be linked by a sequence of shared spaces.

Annette adds: “To date the development has already appealed to a number of different purchasers, but particularly young professionals and those looking to buy for investment. Given the high specification and location of the apartments, homebuyers know that they are getting good value for money and investors know that it is a quality product in a sought after location that will entice tenants.”

Cambridge boasts excellent travel links; Cambridge Railway Station is just five minutes from the scheme and provides a non-stop service to London Kings Cross in just 45 minutes. Alternatively, the M11 is just six miles away providing a swift route to Stansted Airport and the motorway network beyond.
