Award winning property developer Weston Homes is bringing Canary Wharf cool to Peterborough with the launch of their waterside residential and commercial development Fletton Quays on the 26th January 2018.
Situated on the banks of the River Nene in Peterborough and fronting onto its very own “urban beach”, this remarkable £70 million development will comprise of four residential buildings with three to seven storeys, which will contain a total of 358 one, two and three bedroom apartments.
The apartment buildings provide London-like architecture with its striking glass and panelled façades to the river frontage, and brick and balconied elevations behind. The buildings front onto a wide tree-lined waterfront boulevard which has green areas, planting and even an “urban beach” fronting onto the river.
Providing views of the city and the river, including the famous 12th century Gothic Peterborough Cathedral, Fletton Quays is set to transform and revitalise the historic waterfront of Peterborough.
Once home to a series of derelict buildings and disused land, the new residential development forms part of a wider £120 million redevelopment of Peterborough’s South Bank, which will also include offices and bars. Weston Homes has been working alongside the Peterborough Investment Partnership to rejuvenate this waterfront area with its high quality apartment offering.
Also planned for the site and located just next door to Weston Homes’ stunning development is a nine storey, 160 bedroom “inverted” hotel with rooftop bar – set to be branded the Hilton Garden Inn.
With an “inverted” design, lifts take hotel visitors to the uppermost floors, where there is the reception/concierge, restaurants and rooftop bar facilities. Combined with the site’s riverside views and “urban beach”, Fletton Quays is sure to entice more tourists to Peterborough, a city steeped in Anglo-Saxon, Medieval and Roman history.
Bob Weston, Chairman and CEO of Weston Homes said:
“Fletton Quays will provide a new community for Peterborough’s expanding population, providing high class city centre apartments in a striking architectural style more often associated with Canary Wharf. The redevelopment of the South Bank is also sure to cement Peterborough’s status as one of the UK’s fastest growing cities. With all it has to offer, there is no doubt that Fletton Quays will become the jewel in the crown of Peterborough.”
Although Fletton Quays is designed to be a modern, economically and environmentally sustainable low-carbon offering, the site remains sympathetic to the history and culture of Peterborough, whilst embracing the area’s growing cosmopolitan reputation. A number of the apartments boast balconies connected to either living areas or bedrooms, providing exquisite riverside views.
