how a penthouse at Wardian offers proximity to Canary Wharf, skyline views and luxurious, on-site amenities

by Jon Massey

C

omparing penthouses, like-for-like is an almost impossible task. These flagship dwellings, often spread over several of the top floors of a tower, as developers test the definition of the term, are intended as the most luxurious example of what’s available at a scheme – both physically and aesthetically.

Consequently, they often go beyond the constraints of the lower properties with configurations unavailable elsewhere at the development and sometimes radically different from homes of similar size and position in others.

Take the three remaining apartments on sale at Canary Wharf Group’s flagship One Park Drive tower, for example.

They range in price from £3.95million to £4.4million and in size from 1,637sq ft to 2,122sq ft.

They also come with different outlooks and are arranged in an asymmetric, cylindrical building unlike anything else in east London.

Stroll off the estate, over the South Quay Bridge however and, in a couple of minutes, you can be at Wardian – a joint venture between developers Ballymore and EcoWorld.

Its two white towers – one 50 storeys, the other 55 – rise over the waters of West India South Dock with wraparound balconies on each level.

Here, one of the scheme’s last remaining penthouses has just been finished – a duplex on the 48th floor.

This property comes fully furnished and decorated by Amos And Amos with a price tag of £2.3million – about £1,820 per square foot of which there are 1,264, plus a balcony running round two sides of the property’s lower floor.

For reference, the least expensive One Park Drive penthouse costs about £2,413 per square foot, but comes with an extra 400 of them.

So what do you get for a lower price at Wardian? The scheme offers a plethora of amenities including a 53rd floor sky lounge and bar called The Observatory, an open-air swimming pool, a gym, treatment rooms, a private cinema room and landscaped gardens.

As Canary Wharf rapidly evolves into a retail and lifestyle hub, Wardian is an impressive addition to the skyline and a unique place to call home Brian De’ath, Ballymore

Inside, the corner property boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, wooden flooring and marble-tiled bathrooms, one with a freestanding bath. The lower floor features an open-plan living area with a fully fitted kitchen, access out onto the wraparound balcony and a WC. Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes an en suite with shower, the bath and twin sinks. There’s also a second en suite bedroom.

Ballymore’s managing director of residential sales, Brian De’ath, said: “Wardian’s penthouses represent the pinnacle of luxury living in Canary Wharf, bringing indulgence and style to new heights.

“Their expansive dining areas are just waiting to host fabulous parties and the stunning interiors, designed by Amos And Amos, combine with breathtaking views over London to create an elevated oasis above the city below.

“As Canary Wharf rapidly evolves into a retail and lifestyle hub, delivering the best that London has to offer, Wardian is an impressive new addition to the skyline and a unique place to call home.”

Wardian is located a few minutes’ walk from all the amenities of the Canary Wharf estate including its DLR, Tube and Elizabeth Line stations. It’s also close to South Quay DLR for easy access to Greenwich, Deptford and Lewisham.

Local restaurants and bars include the likes of Italian Capeesh, fine dining at Bokan and Turkish cuisine at Moira.

how The Lofts at Ballymore’s Goodluck Hope offer space and views over the capital

P

rice and location are also intimately intertwined at another Ballymore development, Goodluck Hope. Just as penthouses at Wardian are less expensive than those on the Canary Wharf estate, The Lofts at this scheme on the Leamouth Peninsula, some distance away, are available for around £835 per square foot (based on a £937k two-bed).

The development is located about a half-hour walk from Canary Wharf, but is 10 minutes from Canning Town station offering connections via the DLR and Jubilee lines to Stratford and central London. There’s also a direct bus service to the Wharf that stops nearby.

Designed with pitched roofs recalling industrial buildings that once stood on the site, the two and three-bedroom properties feature high ceilings, open-plan living areas and Crittal windows plus the odd touch of exposed brick or metalwork.

Perhaps most impressive, however, are the views over the surrounding area including the curve of the Thames round Greenwich Peninsula and across to The O2.

Ballymore associate regional sales director, James Boyce said: “The Lofts at Goodluck Hope are a collection of 19 deluxe penthouses that bring a New York-inspired, open-plan aesthetic to the development’s premium waterfront location.

“From showstopping maritime-style indigo kitchens, to spacious private balconies over-

looking the Thames and The O2, the apartments retain the character of east London’s historic dockyards while also setting the benchmark for modern living.

“A distinct design, with pitched roofs and high ceilings, makes The Lofts very special penthouses within London’s residential market.

“In addition to its premium living spaces, Goodluck Hope features a best-in-class resident-only amenity offering within a unique neighbourhood.”

Specifically, residents at Goodluck Hope gain membership to the 1595 Club, which includes a swimming pool, gym, workspace and a cinema room. They can also access the Lantern Room, an area atop the scheme’s highest tower that acts as viewing platform, lounge and study.

Residents also get access to facilities at Ballymore’s sister scheme London City Island, which boasts an outdoor pool.

The location is far from remote. In addition to the transport links, it’s next door to artist and maker hub Trinity Buoy Wharf and within easy walking distance of Republic, the burgeoning educational campus. It also benefits from the regeneration of nearby Canning Town and Royal Docks.
