Ballymore, one of London’s most prominent property developers are launching 100 new apartments for sale at London City Island, its development on the Leamouth Peninsula. To celebrate the launch and development progress, Ballymore is hosting a summer garden party on 30th July, 10-5pm, at the Marketing Suite. The summer party will include champagne Ice Pops, freshly made juices from Supernatural, children’s entertainment including a face painter, a BBQ, deckchairs and DJ. The 100 homes being released include suites, 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes which will form part of the 1,700 apartments, stunning al fresco spaces and striking surroundings that will make up the 12 acre island development set against an iconic backdrop of The O2, Canary Wharf and the City. Prices for the new units will start from £405,000. London City Island is London’s new island neighbourhood. Dubbed a ‘mini Manhattan’, the Island will become a vibrant cultural area and one of the Capital’s most exciting and inspirational places to live. Ballymore recently announced that the London Film School intends to relocate to the island and will join English National Ballet and English National Ballet School who announced last year that they would be making their new home on the island in 2018, cementing the island’s position as a hub for the arts. Whilst residents will enjoy all the benefits of riverfront ‘island living’, they will only have to cross the iconic 260ft red footbridge which spans the River Lea to be connected to rest of London. This new link, constructed by Ballymore to improve the islands connectivity, will allow residents to reach Bond Street in just 20 minutes via the Jubilee Line and DLR at Canning Town. Residents of the island will automatically become members of the City Island Arts Club, the island’s own private resident’s club which is due to open later this year when the first homes are completed and ‘island living’ begins. The arts club includes a striking red swimming pool of bright, seafaring red tiles - the trademark hue which appears throughout the island. - Ends - Pricing: Suite £405,000 1 Bed £450,000 2 Bed £635.000 3 Bed £760,000 For further information on London City Island please contact: Hayleigh O’Farrell, Head of Communications Tel: +44 (0)20 7510 83020 7630 1411 Email: HO’Farrell@ballymoregroup.com Notes to Editors: About London City Island: London City Island will comprise 1,700 new homes set on an island of 12 acres, with independent artisan restaurants, shops, creative hubs and al fresco spaces.
