Stylish warehouse living at Royal Arsenal Riverside

Ever since loft style living was popularised in Manhattan with the conversion of former industrial buildings, having a home in a converted warehouse has been the final word in hip urban style.

Now Berkeley Homes is unveiling the first phase of The Warehouse No.1 Street at Royal Arsenal Riverside - a collection of new apartments which combine a stylish warehouse feel with all of the convenience and comforts of a quality new build property.

Royal Arsenal Riverside, Berkeley Homes’ flagship development on the banks of the River Thames in London SE18, is steeped in military history with its collection of impressive listed heritage buildings. Here one of London’s most exciting new neighbourhoods is coming to life, introducing modern infrastructure and a variety of amenities to create a vibrant community.

The Warehouse No.1 Street sits in an enviable position at the heart of this highly successful development, on the cobbled pedestrianised route which runs from the Woolwich town centre straight down to the River Thames. Its classic brick façade is designed as an elegant complement to the surrounding historic buildings which have now been converted and seamlessly blended with other contemporary architecture.

The Warehouse No.1 Street offers a range of suites, Manhattan suites and one, two and three bedroom apartments. The apartments mix contemporary design, stylish interior finishes and flexible open plan living areas. To echo the site’s heritage and create the warehouse feeling, they feature a touch of exposed brick detailing in the living room. Each has its own private balcony or terrace, many with views of the river or the landscaped courtyard.

The superb specification of the homes comes together with the assurance of the award winning Berkeley Homes brand. Kitchens are equipped with top of the range appliances, including fully integrated ovens, hobs and extractor hoods, fridge freezers and dishwashers. All bathrooms and en suites have chrome ladder-style heated towel rails and luxurious tiling. Access to all apartments is via a visual/audio entry system, ensuring a good level of security and towards its green credentials, all homes are fitted with energy efficient light fittings and electrical goods, flow regulating showers and water efficient dishwashers.

Royal Arsenal Riverside, located in the London Borough of Greenwich, is an impressive 76-acre mixed-use development in a prime position on the banks of the River Thames. Living at South East London’s best connected riverside development means that residents can enjoy a speedy daily commute into Central London, the City and the Docklands, thanks to numerous public transport options on the scheme’s doorstep – including the over land train and DLR, as well as the Thames Clipper river boat service which departs from the on-site Woolwich Arsenal Pier and runs direct to Canary Wharf, in 29 minutes, and the O2 Arena in just eight minutes. By DLR, the journey time to City Airport is only six minutes away. Transport will be further improved in the future with the proposed arrival of a station on the Crossrail line at the development itself, bringing a major boost to the area.

Already 1,250 homes on site are occupied and residents have the use of a fantastic range of amenities, including a 24-hour concierge, a residents-only gym, a specialist café / deli - the Couture Food Hall, as well as the Firepower Museum and café and green open space in the form of Wellington Park. In the near future, amenities will be further improved with the opening of the Young’s bar and gastropub which is due to launch this summer, as well as a high quality, landmark hotel from Express by Holiday Inn. The Warehouse No.1 Street forms part of the scheme’s agreed Masterplan which sets out a vision for a sustainable mixed use community over the coming decades, made up of a further 3,700 high quality homes, as well as a range of additional leisure and community facilities, shops and office space, an extensive new public park, and a new riverside walk, opening up more of the Thames frontage.

Paul Vallone, Managing Director at Berkeley Homes (Urban Renaissance) Ltd, comments: “The Warehouse No.1 Street is designed for those who want a stylish modern home in keeping with a historic location. Royal Arsenal Riverside is an established regeneration zone, combining an inviting community with excellent transport links.”
