Belgravia gate is a collection of twelve beautifully crafted residences located at London’s most prestigious address on Grosvenor Crescent. The revived Grade II listed heritage buildings meet a state-of-the-art design concept with premium quality while redefining the benchmarks of design specification and service on a global level.
Ant Yapi UK has been appointed as the principal contractor for refurbishment works of this prestigious property.
The buildings were designed by Thomas Cundy III (architect of nearby Wilton Crescent) with construction dated to 1867-1869.

Each apartment has been exquisitely designed by internationally renowned, New York based designers Thomas Jull-Hansen LLC. A sophisticated palette of natural tones and materials of the very highest quality have been chosen in order to maximise the magnificent proportions and ceiling heights of the twelve voluminous apartments.
