Redrow celebrates 'La Dolce Vita'

Life is sweet for city dwellers and investors who have flocked to buy stylish new apartments in the Lemonade Building at Barking Central.

Whilst the scheme has proved so successful that lower floor apartments have completely sold out, buyers now have the opportunity to secure a Redrow apartment on one of the higher floors, boasting stunning views of London’s skyline.

Prices range from £161,000 for a one-bedroom apartment on the eighth floor, to £250,000 for a two-bedroom property on the 17th floor, providing high quality, affordable homes in a prime location.

“We’ve sold an unprecedented number of apartments at Barking Central in recent weeks and we are expecting similar success with our latest available apartments,” said Mary Timlin, sales director for Redrow Homes (South Midlands).

“The successful blend of high quality homes in a terrific location is appealing to both owner-occupiers and buy-to-let investors alike.”

The Lemonade Buildings offers stylishly-designed, easy to maintain and energy-efficient apartments just 20 minutes by train from Canary Wharf and 15 minutes from London’s Fenchurch Street station.

The building stands close to the spot where R-Whites Lemonade was once manufactured – hence its unusual name - and consists of a 17-storey block of 136 apartments; the final chapter of a hugely successful regeneration story.

The wider scheme, Barking Central, has created more than 500 residential apartments, as well as prime retail space; a new state of the art library and lifelong learning centre; a hotel and the unique feature of a specially created arboretum planted with 40 mature trees.

The surrounding area offers a wide range of bars, restaurants, cafes and shops and the forthcoming 2012 Olympics will help to raise Barking’s profile further.

Two-bedroom apartments enjoy the luxury of en-suite to master bedroom and all properties have a balcony for that all-important outdoor space. Each apartment has been carefully designed, from fine wood laminate floors to steel finishes resulting in a perfect blend of convenience and style.
