Regal London and our joint venture partner KKR, a leading global investment firm, have acquired a strategic new site at 340a Clapham Road, SW9, situated between Stockwell and Clapham North.
The site represents Regal London’s and KKR’s first development through their joint venture. Upon completion, the total GDV of the scheme is expected to be in the region of £50million.
The brownfield site (formerly a tool hire depot), will become a vibrant mixed use, residential-led development, set to total 94,740 sq ft (GIA). It will deliver 62 one, two and three bedroom apartments – 12 of which will be available for Shared Ownership – spread over nine floors. The ground and lower ground floors will comprise approximately 18,250 ft² (GIA) of flexible B1/A1 commercial space. Planning permission was granted in June 2017 following a collaborative working relationship with the London Borough of Lambeth.
With a high quality and contemporary design, both of which are hallmarks of every Regal London scheme, the development will complement the surrounding streetscape of new build and period properties. Every apartment will benefit from a private balcony, while residents will also have access to communal gardens and a roof terrace.
An established network of transport links is within easy reach of the development, with Stockwell Underground Station just 0.2miles away, as well as Clapham North Underground Station and Clapham High Street Overground Station both within a short walk.
A thriving social and leisure scene is also nearby, led by the bars, pubs, restaurants and cafes, as well as a selection of amenities, in situ along the lively Clapham High Street and its surrounds.
Work is set to begin on site at 340a Clapham Road in H1 2019. Completions are expected to be from late 2021. KKR’s investment is being made through its Real Estate Partners Europe fund.
Ensuring that our sites are attached to wider areas of investment and regeneration is fundamental to our development strategy. 340a Clapham Road has the necessary infrastructure to support a thriving community. With the character and amenities of both Clapham High Street and Stockwell just a stone’s throw away, it is set to be a sought-after proposition for first time buyers and young professionals alike.
