The City

WHITECHAPEL WELCOMES the WORLD. One

People have always invested their futures in Whitechapel. The French Huguenots did in the 17th century, bringing with them their knowledge and craft in silk from which our new homes take their name. The Silk District is a flow of tall towers, lowerlying buildings and landscaped gardens – where the homes have been meticulously designed to be elegant, practical and stand the test of time. We’re part of a larger story of investment in the area. The Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) station is coming, turning it into an even more significant transport interchange. You’re buying more than a home at The Silk District. You’re buying into a location that’s going places.

14—15


LOOKING to the FUTURE

The Mayor's "Whitechapel Vision" is a £300m investment in improving the local area. It promises four big things that further enhance the area's long-term appeal: • Making Whitechapel Road a destination shopping area. • Creating seven significant new public squares and spaces. • Building new schools, creating first class educational opportunities for you and your family. • Upgrading Whitechapel station – connecting to Crossrail, shortening your commute.

© Crossrail Ltd

Whitechapel’s proximity to both London’s major financial districts and ongoing regeneration promises it to be a key destination for impressive buy to let investment growth.

16—17


Day & Nightlife Regeneration plans will expand and redesign the famously vibrant street market and bring a wave of cafĂŠs, restaurants and bars. Surrounding changes include the redevelopment of a large Sainsbury's store as well as the introduction of retail stores, leisure facilities and new homes.

The Elizabeth line (Crossrail)

London's new railway will pass through Whitechapel. Slashed journey times to places like Bond St, Liverpool St, Canary Wharf and Heathrow will allow you to benefit from a Zone 2 price per square foot and Zone 1 connections. The station is part of a wider scheme, introducing retail and new homes.

New public squares

These will weave through the area and around The Silk District. New spaces will transform Whitechapel Road making it a more sought after area to live in and driving property prices up.

18—19

First-class education and civic hub

The "Whitechapel vision" is creating a globally renowned medical research campus called "Med City", accelerating access to top of the range facilities and technology, attracting medical professionals to the area looking for somewhere to rent. Adjoining the campus, the new Civic Hub will host state of the art libraries, retail and office space as well as offer new community facilities.


A PLACE THAT blends CRAFT, LUXURY AND ATTENTION to DETAIL. Four

The Silk District

Our three buildings are architecturally distinct and linked by streets and landscaping, moving between The Georgette, The Jacquard and The Bouchon. On your doorstep you've got residents-only facilities built to luxury hotel standard: concierge, gym, cinema room and flexible workspace.

The Jardin, a serene garden escape on your doorstep.

AN INTRODUCTION to your NEW HOME Five

The Georgette South

Our buildings are named to honour the craft and luxury of Whitechapel's silk industry. Full of character and subtlety, 'Georgette' is a light fabric typified by tightly interlaced silk threads. The Georgette South is part of a collection of secluded residences, standing at seven floors tall. Homes here benefit from unique views of Canary Wharf – and balconies from which to enjoy them. Watch the twinkling lights of some of London's most recognised landmarks from your own home.

The Jardin

At the heart of  The Georgette, The Jardin is the largest of the residents’ gardens. In the evening enjoy the soft glow of the garden lighting and in the day relax on the decking overlooking the lawns and flower beds.
