LEADING LUXURY RESIDENTIAL developer Northacre is offering a rare opportunity to live opposite Buckingham Palace with exclusive views over the palace’s gardens: the only residential property in London with such a claim. No. 1 Palace Street is architecturally impressive and boasts a secure 300,000 square foot site in the heart of one of London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

Due for completion in early 2018, No.1 Palace Street will set a new agenda for what discerning buyers demand from a home in London. Future residents of No. 1 Palace Street are buying into a rich architectural heritage as well as an unparalleled address; residents will own not only a home, but a piece of history. Dating back to 1861, the Grade II Listed wing of the building, Buckingham Gate, remains a major landmark of the Victorian period. ‘The Palace Hotel’ was one of the first large London hotels and hosted distinguished guests of Queen Victoria.

The development houses 72 superb apartments, each unique in layout with custom designed interiors. Encompassing the best of old and new, No. 1 Palace Street represents a tasteful blend of traditional and contemporary design. Interiors have been carefully considered to compliment the different architectural styles of the building, whilst incorporating state-of- the-art in-built technology.

The apartments include original and restored period features such as cornicing, skirting and original fireplaces, and impressive ceiling heights (up to 4.8 metres). Front-facing residences overlook the beautiful gardens of Buckingham Palace, whilst others offer views reaching to Pall Mall, St Paul’s, the City and the London Eye. The majority of apartments (76 per cent) will offer a dual aspect and look out onto a sumptuously landscaped interior courtyard at the heart of the development.

The property will house more than 10,000 square feet of lifestyle facilities including an expansive gym, personal training suites, treatment rooms, and one of the most impressive private pools in the capital. Furthermore, residents can enjoy use of personal catering from the development’s restaurant and a large entertaining space.

Responsible for the notable developments of The Lancasters, The Phillimores, Kings Chelsea and The Bromptons, Northacre’s schemes remain landmark locations within London. As the most magnificent private residence in the area, No.1 Palace Street will be no exception.
