Reach For The Sky
Islington Gazette, May 2008A selection of newly completed apartments at 9 Clerkenwell Road, one of Clerkenwell’s most eagerly anticipated developments, offer an exclusive opportunity for tenants to be among the first residents of this luxury development.
The one and two bedroom apartments, ideally designed for the busy City professional, are located on the Clerkenwell Barbican fringe. The apartments are a short walk from the Square Mile with nearby transport links from Barbican and St Paul’s undergrounds and Old Street.
The architecture optimizes the building’s proximity to the famous stretch of the London skyline incorporating Smithfield Market, the Gherkin and Tower 42 and wrap-round balconies and roof terraces offer spectacular views.
Apartments have been built to the highest specification with modern interiors by well-established designer and alumnus of The Inchbald School, Staffan Tollgard.
German kitchen units, Bosch integrated appliances, engineered walnut flooring and doorsets, and fully tiled bathrooms create a contemporary finish throughout.
All bedrooms feature built in wardrobes with incorporated lighting while adjustable downlighters and underfloor heating operate throughout.
An on-site concierge service caters for the intricate needs of the busy residents of 9 Clerkenwell Road.
Christian Thomas, lettings manager of Currell Residential said; "This sort of brand new development is incredibly rare central Clerkenwell and in terms of size versus location, it is unreivalled. Clerkenwell’s abundance of historic buildings and old architecture has left virtually no room to build, yet Thornsett Group has uniquely managed to regenerate 0.44 hectares of prime land into homes.
"In total the development comprises 174 one, two and three bedroom apartments and has everything to attract the City professional. It is walkable to work as well as to Smithfield, Exmouth Market and the West End’s many social attractions.
"In other words, 9 Clerkenwell Road is perfectly suited to the busy person."
The entire development is due to complete in September 2008.
