Sphere Magazine have recently featured Bankside Yards in its list of emerging London boroughs that are becoming new property hotspots. Zoe Dare Hall highlights how London’s prime buyers are changing the areas they are focusing on, as inner-city industrial areas are becoming the new vibrant destination to live, and work. Prime residential buyers are being lured away from traditional spots and towards “new neighbourhoods make you feel part of a global likeminded club” like Bankside Yards. “If you’re a well-travelled buyer drawn to Hudson Yards in Manhattan or South Bank in Melbourne, you will probably like Bankside Yards in London’s Blackfriars – its first residential building, Opus, launches in Spring 2025.” Read more via the Native Journal: https://lnkd.in/eUZh7y9N #BanksideYards #SE1 #London

Set above the historic railway arches of Bankside Yards, the industrial heritage of Southwark is on show as you enter Arbor each day. The South Bank is a vital and ever-evolving site where London’s history is made – from Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre to the Festival of Britain and the development of Bankside Power station into the Tate Modern at the turn of the millennium – evolution and future-thinking are ever-present here. Bursting with cultural hotspots, the South Bank has plenty to offer for after-work downtime. An area that is already home to the National Theatre, the Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, Borough Market and a rich ecosystem of bars and restaurants, will increase in variety as Bankside Yards continues to grow, alongside the arrival of Native Land’s riverside residential masterpiece, Opus. When complete, Opus will be London’s tallest residential building in Prime Central London.   Arbor’s South Bank location not only offers lifestyle destinations on the doorstep, but excellent transport connections too. This hyper-connected area, has four rail stations and five Underground stations within a few minutes’ walk, as well as a variety of London buses and river boat stations.
