The Broadway's six architecturally striking towers, conceived by Northacre and created by acclaimed architect Squire and Partners, frame a significant 20,000 sq. ft public courtyard and pedestrianised piazza. Fringed by a new array of shops, cafes and restaurants, The Broadway will offer 355,000 sq. ft of state-of-the-art residential space, located from the lofty fourth floor, including 285 apartments, priced from HKD 15.6 million. Two fourth floor, landscaped podiums link the towers, providing a verdant private oasis for residents above the bustle of London's heartland.

Located in the heart of the Capital and one of its most prestigious boroughs, SW1 is ideally situated to make use of everything London has to offer. The exclusive shopping boulevards of Bond Street, Oxford and Regent Street are only 15 minutes away. Residents of The Broadway will benefit from a world-class range of educational institutions. Westminster School, an independent school located next to the iconic Westminster Abbey, regularly achieves some of the highest proportions of pupils accepted at Oxford and Cambridge University, whilst University College London and Imperial College London, which both neighbour the scheme are ranked amongst the top 10 universities worldwide.

Each of The Broadway's buildings has been meticulously designed to protect the views that the conservation area dictates. Taking inspiration from these vistas, the architecture and facades of The Broadway creatively frame each outlook, flooding every apartment with light and allowing most residents to enjoy double aspect views across the iconic London skyline. Inspired by the design of the facades, each building has been named after three of the world's most revered diamonds; The Sancy, The Paragon and The Cullinan -- six new jewels in Westminster's crown.

The Broadway provides 16,000 sq. ft of health, fitness and spa amenities that afford residents the chance to relax and recharge in an exceptional setting. Facilities include an elegant 25m pool, gym and personal training studio, treatment rooms and a spacious, state-of-the-art games room, that can be booked by residents as additional entertainment space, alongside well-equipped meeting rooms, screening room and extensive parking.

Superbly connected, the underground stations of Westminster and St James's Park neighbour the scheme, with Victoria Station, the centre of London's travel network close by. As the area becomes a new thriving business and leisure district for London, The Broadway will add 117,300 sq. ft of state-of-the-art office-space alongside its 25,000 sq. ft retail collection for all to enjoy.

Jassim Alseddiqi, CEO of ADFG comments: "The acquisition of the former headquarters of New Scotland Yard and our plans for The Broadway represent ADFG's continued commitment to investing in unique and iconic developments in London. The Broadway represents the future of urban living, a thriving destination to live, work and play in a world class address surrounded by unparalleled views of London's most famous landmarks."

Niccolò Barattieri di San Pietro, CEO of Northacre comments: "We are looking forward to creating another prestigious neighbourhood in London; a vibrant new hub for an area, which despite its unrivalled location, views and transport, has long been undervalued."

Driven by international interest that has also benefited from the weaker pound sterling and low interest rates, demand for quality properties in favoured postcodes increased in Prime Central London during the first half of this year.  Accounting for both currency movements and price corrections across the wider prime London market, the costs for a purchaser buying a property in US Dollars has decreased by 30% over the last 3 years.[1]

The Capital is witnessing a new wave of prime locations across Central London, such as South Bank, the City, Marylebone, Victoria and Westminster, which are re-defining the residential preferences of high-net-worth purchasers in London. Over the next five years we predict growth of 15% in this borough, supported by landmark schemes such as The Broadway.[2]

Northacre, with a long history of specialising in revival projects is undertaking the development of The Broadway, a new-build with a similar meticulous ethos. Without exception, every Northacre-managed Prime Central London scheme has delivered a substantial uplift in residential values achieved for the area. In the last 25 years, Northacre has delivered more than 630 properties in London's most sought-after addresses with a value of more than HKD 12.5 billion. Northacre currently has a strong development pipeline in place with a predicted Gross Development value of HKD 20 billion.

The exhibition of the Broadway will be held at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong during 9 -10 September 2017 from 10am to 6pm. Visitors can get the first-hand information of this new residential and commercial scheme. JLL and Savills have been appointed as joint agents in Hong Kong.
