Extending The Line

Global property developers R&F Properties (UK) and CC Land were proud to welcome yesterdays’s opening of London’s Northern Line Extension, which includes a new station at Nine Elms serving their One Thames City development.

Designed by internationally acclaimed architects Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), with interiors by award winning interior studio HBA Residential – One Thames City is already forming a thriving and exceptionally connected new district in ‘downtown’ central London.

With thanks to TFL and local developer contributions, the Northern Line Extension is London’s first underground tube line extension in 20 years and will connect the vibrant riverside location to neighbouring Zone One destinations.

JLL identified significant increased demand in residential sales and lettings within Nine Elms over the next five years, with uplift sales and rental forecast at 22.5% and 13% respectively.

Guan Zhixiong, Chairman of R&F Properties (UK): said: “As the city reawakens from the pandemic, we’re also delighted that residents will now benefit from the addition of the Northern Line Extension, promising to connect London’s neighbourhoods within minutes to the City and West End.”

Dickie Wong, Deputy Chairman and Executive Director of CC Land, said: Together with R&F, we’re delighted that One Thames City will now be served by the Northern Line Extension. Construction at One Thames City continues at pace, with phase on track for completion in mid-2022. An abundance of green space is being woven into the heart of its blueprint, and we look forward to welcoming residents next year.”

Nick Whitten, Head of UK Residential & Living Research at JLL, said: “The Vauxhall, Nine Elms, Battersea neighbourhood is now approaching an exciting and momentous stage in its transformation.

“The opening of the Northern Line Extension stations and the nearby Power Station building will be defining moments for the area. Increased footfall and much improved connectivity is set to create a pivotal change and acceleration in residential sales and a step-change for rental demand as the whole riverside area becomes a desirable London living destination.”

Residents of One Thames City have exclusive access to a wealth of five-star services and amenities, including spa wellness centre consisting of relaxation and treatment rooms, a large swimming pool with separate childrens pool, steam, sauna and jacuzzi, gym with yoga and dance studios.

There will also be a level 39 sky lounge, podium private dining, private lounge and bar with private wine store, cinema, karaoke, business centre, library, kids play and 24-hour concierge, in addition to a private entrance lobby, extensive podium roof gardens and 2 private podium courtyards with secure valet parking.

Placing wellness and open space at the heart of this Zone One London location, a Great Lawn, network of walkways, cycle paths and intimate green spaces along the river will provide residents and the public a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
