Renting At Riverside

London’s newest cultural district is now home to a new rental collection and concept. The developer of Greenwich Peninsula, Knight Dragon, has reimagined renting in the city to create the first dedicated rental collection at No. 4 Upper Riverside.

With Greenwich in the top five most popular locations for renting in the first month of 2020^1, the launch of the new concept this January is set to bring a new benchmark to the borough.

Refining the renting experience, No. 4 Upper Riverside offers all the perks of home ownership – like security and pets - but with a flexibility tailored to the individual. Key features include:

• Deposit - free renting: 4 offers the opportunity to pay a smaller amount upfront via the Deposit Replacement Scheme to reduce the financial pressure of moving
• Flexible tenures: with rental contracts ranging from six months to three years
• Contract security: all homes at No.4 are rented directly from the developer, meaning contracts are secure for their full term, rather than with a private landlord
• A pets-welcome policy: renting at Upper Riverside enjoys the same freedom as owning
• Car parking: onsite secure car parking is available
• Curated interiors: every home is built with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship, and expertly styled and furnished for an easy start to life at Upper Riverside
• The Upper Riverside Club: 4 residents have everything from a pool, gyms and cosy lounges to cinemas and a co-working space at their disposal – saving on the cost and hassle of the usual membership fees
• Riverside living: a prime location on the Thames with exceptional views and a private residents’ roof terrace

This is all complete with outdoor and green spaces, restaurants, bars and cafes, shopping, a thriving cultural scene, great connections and lively existing community. Combined, it offers a truly original renting experience in the capital.

Kerri Sibson, sales and marketing director, Knight Dragon, comments: “This is what renting in London should be: easy, convenient, secure yet also high quality and beautiful.

We’ve listened to what Londoners want and seen a growing demand for the lifestyle of an address like Upper Riverside with the flexibility of renting, but without the usual compromises. So, we’ve created the same design-led homes with great amenities and removed the usual drawbacks of renting to offer a more refined experience.

“Given its proximity to major centers like Canary Wharf and The City, this is going to be popular for those looking for a convenient location for work coupled with an uncompromised quality of life.”

No.4 Upper Riverside

Providing the very first opportunity to rent on the Peninsula directly from developers, Knight Dragon, No. 4 Upper Riverside comprises a collection of 191 studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, lofts and penthouses on the banks of the River Thames.

Available in two different palettes, each apartment reflects its modern creative setting and makes the most of the waterfront location with floor-to-ceiling glazing and private balconies.
