That’s why Riverwalk has quickly become one of London’s most desirable riverside developments. As the only residential development inWestminster on the coveted north bank of the Thames, Riverwalk’s location, combined with its panoramic views and superlative specification, has attracted high demand, with over 60% of apartments now sold. The development, which is due for completion in 2015, will comprise 116 highly specified one, two, three and four bedroom lateral apartments and penthouses. Prices of the remaining units start from £1.75m. Designed by RIBA Stirling Prize winning architects Stanton Williams, Riverwalk responds to its riverfront location with interlocking curves that create a bold, sculptural building. Spread across two organically shaped buildings of six and 17 floors respectively, the apartments have a variety of layouts, each carefully designed to maximise space and views. The unique footprint of Riverwalk has resulted in an array of different floorplans, each one thoughtfully laid out to make the most of the architectural space and the incredible sight of London just outside your window. With generous proportions, ceilings of up to 2.75m and floor-to-ceiling glazing, the spacious apartments will have exceptional levels of natural light. Full sliding doors with push button controls will give access to extensive balconies, which flow seamlessly around the building, offering views of the Thames, Westminster and beyond. The ultimate in modern urban living, Riverwalk will provide concierge services, a fitness suite and secure underground parking. The apartments will be highly specified to include Crestron home automation systems and bespoke kitchens designed by Boffi with appliances from Miele and Gaggenau. Bathrooms include underfloor heating, demisting mirrors, natural stone feature walls and dark oak marine ply, commonly found on yachts. As well as being right on the riverfront, Riverwalk is within walking distance from some of London’s best-known attractions, including the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. Located on Millbank moments from the Tate Britain art gallery, the site’s cultural credentials also include Locking Piece – an artwork by Henry Moore, the UK’s most celebrated sculptor, positioned in Riverwalk Gardens. Several royal parks are a short walk away, including Green Park, St James’s Park and Hyde Park; the boutiques of Knightsbridge, Bond Street and King’s Road are also in close proximity.
