Sales success for new apartments in Barking

It seems location is still the key for many homebuyers after Redrow sold 14 apartments in just one month at a popular development in Barking.

The housebuilder is celebrating after the Lemonade Building, part of the multi-award-winning Barking Central regeneration project, proved to be January’s new homes success story.

There are now just 22 one and two-bedroom apartments remaining for sale at the location, and homebuyers are being urged to act quickly if they don’t want to miss out.

The recent success is unsurprising given that many of the apartments have fantastic views over the O2 arena and London skyline and the sought after upper floors are now on release.

Residents will also benefit from a 19 minute train journey to Fenchurch Street Station and close proximity to the new Olympic Village, which is set to be transformed into housing after the 2012 London games.

As well as featuring high specification fixtures and fittings, apartments at the Lemonade Building have all of the advantages associated with being brand new – they are easy to maintain, energy efficient, kinder to the environment and protected by the NHBC 10-year ‘Buildmark’ warranty.

The 17-storey block of 136 apartments, stands close to the spot where R-Whites Lemonade was once manufactured. It’s also 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.

Only recently the development picked up its second prestigious ‘Housing Design’ award and a ‘Building for Life’ award.

Two-bedroom apartments enjoy the luxury of en-suite to master bedroom and all properties have a balcony for that all-important outdoor space. Prices start from £140,000 for a one-bedroom home and from £181,000 for a two-bedroom home.
