Ballymore pioneered the regeneration of the Nine Elms area, with its Embassy Gardens project located at the centre. Ballymore’s masterplan for Embassy Gardens included the development of the new US Embassy, which acted as a catalyst for the creation of the entire area that is now known as Nine Elms, stretching between Battersea Power Station and Vauxhall Station on the South Bank of the River Thames, in London’s Zone 1.

The Capston is the passion and legacy project of Ballymore’s Founder, Chairman and CEO Sean Mulryan, and sits in a prime riverside setting alongside the US Embassy. In keeping with the simple, yet beautiful aesthetic of the wider Embassy Gardens development, The Capston’s architecture takes cues from Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, whilst its elegantly eclectic and sophisticated interiors reflect Sean’s passion for Art Deco design, offering a refreshingly bold aesthetic that will set new standards for the London residential market.

‘As a lasting legacy in Nine Elms, we wanted to create a building that will push Ballymore to new heights. The Capston will be the final and most coveted location at Embassy Gardens, destined to take its place among the historic addresses bordering the great River Thames. It seemed to me the perfect project to draw inspiration from the great pioneers of the Art Deco movement to create interiors that are works of extraordinary beauty and that represent something truly special for this final phase of Embassy Gardens.’ Sean Mulryan, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Ballymore Group.

Art sits at the heart of every space at The Capston. Reflecting Sean’s enduring commitment to championing both established and up-and-coming artists, The Capston will feature a carefully curated collection of artwork, ranging from sculpture to figurative and abstract painting, photography and portraiture, created by an ensemble of visionary artists and exhibited in the building’s interior and outside spaces.

Set across two buildings, connected by a ground-floor pavillion and Japanese-inspired gardens, The Capston residences range from studios to three-bedroom penthouses, offering views across central London and the River Thames.

‘I have been enjoying and collecting art for the greater part of my life. Over time it has proved to be a great source of inspiration and joy, and I have always wanted the residents at our developments to be able to readily experience the benefits that art brings.

Now, at The Capston, we are proud to be placing today’s leading artists, artisans and designers unreservedly at centre stage.’ comments Sean. ‘It is our ambition for The Capston to become a repository of all that is excellent in the world of art, craft and design.’

Art also flows through each of The Capston’s unique amenity spaces. The artists’ parlour, library and drawing room provide residents with spaces in which they can immerse themselves in the building’s collection of artwork, whilst a private lounge and dining space features bespoke furniture and pieces created by specialist artisans and makers.

The building will also offer a state-of-the-art wellness centre and 24-hour concierge, with an on-site porter house at the building’s entrance.

Service at The Capston will be paramount, with the expert team on-hand day and night to provide discreet and personalised service to all residents, whether it be making restaurant and spa bookings, organising private chefs and personal trainers or facilitating any housekeeping and couriering needs. The dedicated concierge team will be reliable, trusted advisors, a font of valuable contacts and local knowledge.

Residents of The Capston will have access to the wider amenity offering at Embassy Gardens, including its iconic Sky Pool, and will benefit from living within an established, stylish neighbourhood that Ballymore has curated over the past decade; now home to several celebrated, independently run restaurants, cafés and bars. Embassy Gardens also offers excellent connectivity with central London, with some of the city’s best shopping and dining destinations on its doorstep, including Battersea Power Station and the nearby King’s Road.
