Blackwall Reach
More than just a new development – a brand new destination
L
aunched on 18 February at the Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel, Blackwall Reach, from award-winning developer NU living, is a fresh, fashionable and, above all, different development. As one of London’s largest regeneration projects, it will eventually provide more than 1,500 new homes. This exciting first phase, with a stunning 24-storey tower at its heart, will offer one, two and three-bedroom contemporary apartments and penthouses, many of which will provide stunning river or city views. Formerly a pioneering urban estate of the 1960s, Blackwall Reach will completely transform this whole area with the provision of enhanced open spaces, new shops and community facilities, setting a new benchmark of quality in a location steeped in seafaring and shipbuilding history. Ideally located adjacently to Blackwall DLR Station, the West End, Canary Wharf, Stratford and the City are all just minutes away. And with the new Canary Wharf Crossrail station due to begin operations in 2018, it will be even quicker to travel across the capital. Every one of the apartments at Blackwall Reach will offer the same high specification, to deliver luxurious comfort. This is evident in the handleless, matte-finish kitchens with under-unit LED lighting and a full range of integrated energy efficient appliances. A quartz worktop with matching upstand is complemented by a stylish glass splashback. The bathrooms are no less opulent and feature large format porcelain wall tiling with a tiled bath panel and a range of contemporary white sanitaryware. The specification also includes a thermostatic bath/ shower mixer, a mirror cabinet and chrome-heated towel rail. En-suites also benefit from a chromeframed glass shower enclosure with a low-profile shower tray.

Other features include underfloor heating via an eco-friendly centralised boiler system that will supply heating and hot water, engineered timber flooring and the provision of flexible winter gardens to all apartments. A unique addition, the winter gardens are accessed via sliding or opening doors from the living/dining area and master bedroom. Designed to be more multifunctional than a traditional balcony, this space has downlights and underfloor heating beneath porcelain floor tiles to provide you with a versatile space that can be enjoyed all year round. Additionally, the spacious interior lobby creates an environment that is as inviting as it is exclusive. Working from here, the concierge will offer residents a full range of essential services to help make London living comfortable and stress-free. Prices start from £420,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. For more information, call 0203 151 7058 or visit blackwallreach.co.uk
