At SevenCapital, we are pleased to announce our bold and ambitious £1 billion (GDV) expansion plan into the London residential property market.

Consisting of three major pipeline projects including the landmark 100 Kensington development, Archway Campus in Islington and Klein’s Wharf located in the Isle of Dogs, these projects – subject to planning consents – will boost the Group’s already extensive property portfolio with mixed-use development and more than 1,000 residential units over the next five to seven years.

Group Managing Director, Damien Siviter said: “SevenCapital is a growing UK real estate group focused on delivering vibrant communities and sustainable schemes that enrich the lives of those who live and work there. We are recognised specialists in urban regeneration creating high quality residential and mixed-use developments. After building our presence in Birmingham and the Midlands we are now broadening our operations and expanding into London and the South East. Robustly planned and designed, our new London developments will benefit from our exemplary track record with over 15 years of continuous deliverance.”

100 Kensington

100 Kensington is a new £500m (GDV) residential development, providing 462 new homes through a strategic partnership between SevenCapital and MARK.

Planning permission has already been secured, and the landmark development will include a 29-storey tower – the tallest residential tower in The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

With an architectural masterplan by John McAslan & Partners and detailed design by Corstorphine & Wright, 100 Kensington is located on a 1.7-hectare site just 10 minutes from Kensington High Street. The development will offer 276 market sale apartments complete with a concierge, residents’ lounge, cinema and multi-use games and event space as well as a 15,000 sq. ft leisure community facility with a 20-metre swimming pool all set within a landscaped podium garden.

Savills, led by director Nina Coulter, and JLL, led by director Alex Carr, have been appointed as joint sole selling agents of the scheme and homebuyers can register their interest here.

Klein’s Wharf

Located in the Isle of Dogs, Klein’s Wharf is a £290 million development which is currently in planning, with proposals to provide 375 newly built homes across three buildings, including 40% affordable homes.

The proposed scheme is set to include a riverside café, a flexible multi-use community hub and over 50,000 sq.ft. of high quality and green-led public realm with new public access from Westferry Road to the River Thames.

Archway Campus

Situated in Islington, The Archway Campus development is centred on a Victorian hospital building and will be comprised of 178 new homes of which over 50% are affordable.

The scheme is centred on a former Victorian hospital building that began its life as The Holborn and Finsbury Union Workhouse Infirmary. It was designed by Victorian architect Henry Saxon Snell in the decorative Gothic-Revival style that echoes St Pancras Station.

As part of SevenCapital’s commitment to preserving heritage, the proposals involve the restoration of the heritage assets of the site, which are identified by Historic England as part of their Heritage at Risk Register, to bring them back into positive and meaningful use.

The scheme will include student accommodation in a new building providing 242 student rooms alongside flexible commercial/community space.
