Leading central London developer, Berkeley Homes, in conjunction with Knight Frank and Blueprint, is set to launch an exclusive collection of the exciting direct waterfront scheme from Royal Arsenal Riverside, Waterfront 2 at Khalifa Tower, Sharq, Kuwait, on the 1stand 2ndof June.
Royal Arsenal Riverside, a new waterside destination for London, will comprise 1,248 new homes on completion, making it one of London’s most significant regeneration schemes. The latest phase, Waterfront 2, offers a range of one, two, and three bedroom high specification apartments, many of which overlook the 1km of Thames river frontage that has been opened up to the public for the very first time.
This prestigious scheme is located within the Royal Borough of Greenwich and benefits from being situated in close reach of existing transport hubs, offering high speed services to the City, Canary Wharf and West End, as well as a wealth of leading universities and schools nearby. Residents have the pleasure of benefiting from the array of on-site first class amenities including a 24-hour concierge service, medical facilities, fine dining restaurants, Tesco Express, and thanks to the forthcoming resident’s only gymnasium and high spec spa, health and fitness are well catered for. Not to mention the excellent transportation connections whether it’s by the DLR, rail, air, or the on-site Thames clipper pier. Royal Arsenal Riverside is also positioned for convenient access to a large selection of educational facilities making this development one of the perfect destinations for a London style living.
The development is ideally located to benefit from the forthcoming Crossrail station at Woolwich, set to be complete in 2018. The new high frequency rail service will not only improve journey times to the West End and the City but also deliver further enhanced public realm, complete with new shops, bars and restaurants. According to latest research by Knight Frank, on average residential properties within a 15-minute walk of stations in Eastern sections of Crossrail have already outperformed prices in the surrounding areas, with this trend predicted to continue as the infrastructure project comes to completion.

The biggest risk to the UK commercial and residential property markets was always from the potential for an unstable government, which would have undermined economic and consumer confidence, leading to weaker demand, investment and transactional activity.
David Cameron’s Conservative Party look set to secure sufficient parliamentary seats to create a working majority, which should boost market confidence. Post UK elections, the new Conservative-led government promises “more of the same” in terms of housing market policy. The main market impact is likely to be seen through renewed economic and consumer confidence following the return of what looks likely to be a relatively sustainable government. In the housing market this should be expressed through rising transaction volumes in Q2 and Q3, and price rises in the mainstream market during the remainder of 2015.
According to Knight Frank’s market research on price forecast; the UK mainstream house price forecast from 2015 to 2019 = 18.2%, and the Knight Frank Prime Central London house price forecast from 2015 to 2019 = 22.1%
