Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC) has secured planning consent for the next phase of the 42-acre regeneration project.
The new phase will see the delivery of two new Gehry Partners-designed residential buildings providing 306 homes at Prospect Place.
Prospect Place 3 will feature senior living apartments that will be managed by a specialist operator, and Prospect Place 4 will provide 122 new homes. Both buildings will sit on a communal podium featuring a private garden square for residents.
Construction is expected to start later this year with completion anticipated in 2029.
Frank Gehry, founder of Gehry Partners, said: “I am very happy that the next phase of the Battersea project is underway. These two buildings will help our masterplan, which was designed to create the feeling of a neighbourhood, come to fruition. In keeping the same body language of the original, we have continued the white material of these buildings, referencing the incredible history of the Nash Terraces.
“The winter gardens help break down the scale of the facades while also giving each unit a beautiful, light-filled space. Our goal from the beginning has been to make something that is unique to London and unique to this incredible new district in the city. I hope that we make the city proud.”
James Wixley, head of development at BPSDC, added: “This milestone is the next step in realising the long-term vision for Battersea Power Station. With detailed planning consent now secured, we’re extending Gehry Partners’ distinctive architectural legacy, adding new homes while introducing senior living for the first time, and completing Electric Boulevard – London’s newest high street.
“As well as lots of new opportunities in the form of shops, restaurants and jobs, the phase also includes a new community hub to support local events and activities which will be designed in close partnership with Wandsworth Council and the wider community. We are moving beyond the halfway point in delivering the masterplan and, together with our Malaysian shareholders, we look forward to starting on site in the coming months as we work towards another key milestone at this incredible regeneration project.”
