T
he Lucan will encompass 31 boutique residences, in addition to an opulent penthouse, which will occupy an entire floor, offering 360° views across Chelsea. Anticipated to complete in Q4 2024, prime residential developer GRID properties and Gulf Islamic Investments embarked on the scheme located on the site of the former Chelsea police station in May 2022. Amid the enchanting tapestry of Chelsea’s residential allure, The Lucan is poised to redefine modern living in this prestigious London neighbourhood.
Architecture influenced by the locale Much like the royal borough’s elegant architecture and cosmopolitan atmosphere, The Lucan will be influenced by the character of the locale. Designed by esteemed architect firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and led by KPF’s Director, Pamela Wackett – who is known for her impressive portfolio, including the Shenzhen Center in China and Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport – the building’s facade will echo the area’s architectural landmarks and iconic Georgian and Victorian architecture. With design by British luxury interiors studio Rive Gauche, it promises residents a seamless blend of contemporary design and timeless elegance.
The comforts of home with the services of a hotel Set to reshape urban living, the Autograph Collection Residences, managed by Marriott International, promises residents a distinctive fusion of modern comfort, historic charm and an unbeatable location. The Lucan will have similar perks to staying at a five-star hotel, with access to benefits such as chauffeurs, personal trainers, housekeeping, a state-ofthe-art gym and 24-hour valet service. According to the 2023 Savills Branded Residences report, Marriott International comfortably holds the top position among hotel operators, boasting the highest number of completed schemes globally. Maintaining this status since 2002, Marriott International’s enduring prominence in the luxury market positions The Lucan in a favourable position ahead of its anticipated launch in Q4 next year.
