Royal Eden Docks, The Botanist - Property in London

Immediately east of Canary Wharf, the Royal Docks is emerging as a new district for business and culture in London. Over £8bn in investment is flowing into the area over the next 20 years. Improvements to transport, streets and open spaces are underway, preparing for an estimated 24% population growth in the wider area.

 

At the heart of the Royal Docks Mount Anvil creating a new place to call home. Globally renowned architects, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, are behind 35 Hudson Yards in New York, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the China World Trade Centre in Beijing – and now Royal Eden Docks.

 

These homes have wellbeing designed in. Light-filled, thoughtfully laid out, with landscaped garden space for all – 5,000 sq m of it in total. Two private, leafy courtyards. Green rooftops. 17 resident fitness and relaxation amenities. All less than 100 metres from the water’s edge.

 

It’s just a three-minute walk to Custom House station, where Crossrail services are set to begin in 2021. That gets you to Canary Wharf in three minutes and The City in 10.

 

A new district for London designed around health and wellbeing, with landscaped green space at its heart. This is Royal Eden Docks.

 

East London – the fastest growing area in the Capital. Backed by Government investment and the infrastructure legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games, east London has seen the fastest population rise in the UK. And with demand comes growth – house prices in the area have leapt up 63% over the last five years.

 

Big institutions like Transport for London (TfL) and the V&A Museum are moving in, taking advantage of favourable rents, great transport links and access to a growing pool of city workers, creatives and entrepreneurs.

 

In east London’s borough of Newham, the Royal Docks represents one of the last remaining pockets with scope for serious return on investment. With population numbers showing no signs of a slowdown, experts predict an 11.4% increase in house prices and 21% rental value growth over the next five years.

 

The Royal Docks is transforming. The right regenerations bring royal returns on investment for homebuyers. Propelled by population growth and backed by business commitment and public investment in transport and infrastructure, the Royal Docks bears all the hallmarks of an area that’s on the rise. Where public and private finance converge, smart property buyers follow. Buyers in the first phase of Royal Eden Docks are timing it right.

 

The green heart of a vibrant city. Two buildings, each with their own identity, frame two garden squares. They’re linked by pathways with lush green edges offering direct routes to nearby transport.

 

Outdoor living is at the heart of this place. A quarter of the space is dedicated to communal green areas – the equivalent of 20 tennis courts. At ground level, landscaped gardens. On the roof, a running track. Connecting you to the station, a new street. All decorated with trees and ornamental shrub planting that would have been native to the area in a bygone era.

 

The apartments have been arranged to connect you to the outdoors. There’s balconies or terraces to every home and views straight outside to nature, from the moment you step through your front door, through most.

 

As well as investing in the area’s green credentials, light has been considered at every stage. Discreet ground-level lamps keep the area open and inviting for you to use after dark.

 

The Botanist. Occupying the eastern corner and standing 14-storeys high, The Botanist is a collection of 83 apartments. Aptly named after the green space it overlooks, it’s the second opportunity to invest in Royal Eden Docks.

 

Studio, one, two and three-bedroom homes are available, offering green views to the west and water views to the east.

 

From the moment you walk through your door, open plan layouts, full-height windows and outdoor spaces connect you back to nature. Considered design allows for sought-after storage space whilst top-notch appliances will stand the test of time.

 

For security and peace of mind, every home purchase is underpinned by a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty (the UK’s leading warranty and insurance provider), which includes a two-year Mount Anvil homes warranty. That means that if anything needs a touch of TLC, or you or a tenant have an issue with an appliance, we’re on hand to sort it hassle-free.
