LONDON SQUARE TO TRANSFORM WESTMINSTER TOWER INTO A LUXURIOUS 17-STOREY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
- Westminster Tower is London Square’s first prime central London development
- The high end riverside development overlooks iconic London landmarks with panoramic views of the city skyline
- Westminster Tower is one of twelve sites purchased by London Square in 2024 following the company’s acquisition by Aldar in late 2023
LONDON, November 2024, London Square, an Aldar owned company, is excited to announce the transformative redevelopment of Westminster Tower, a prominent riverside landmark. Located on Albert Embankment and boasting panoramic views of the iconic city skyline, Westminster Tower promises to be a crown jewel in the London prime property landscape.
Previously operating as office space, Westminster Tower has received planning consent for an exclusive conversion into a high-end residential scheme, ushering in a new standard of luxury living on the Thames for the most discerning buyers.
The planned redevelopment will add three new storeys to the existing structure, resulting in a remarkable 17-storey building that will house an unrivalled collection of 28 apartments and 2 penthouses. Residents will enjoy breathtaking, unobstructed views of the building’s neighbouring London landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and the River Thames with London’s sweeping cityscape as the backdrop for these magnificent residences.
Steeped in rich history and surrounded by elegant architecture, Westminster Tower is ideally located just a short stroll from St James’s Park and a quick cab ride to the chic boutiques and Michelin starred restaurants of Chelsea and Mayfair. Nearby Waterloo and Vauxhall Stations provide excellent connectivity to key towns across the South and Southwest of England, while King’s Cross St Pancras, Paddington, and Victoria stations offer seamless links to the Eurostar, Heathrow, Gatwick and City airports.
Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development, said: “Since acquiring London Square last year, Aldar has supported the expansion of the company’s development
pipeline, purchasing twelve new sites in prime areas of the city that will deliver thousands of new homes across all segments of the market in the coming years. Westminster Tower is one of the first developments launched by London Square following the acquisition and signals a move into the prime London market for the first time.
“Looking ahead, we are committed to sustaining the platform‘s growth through further strategic landbank acquisitions in line with our strong belief in the solid fundamentals of the London market and its future growth potential.“
Adam Lawrence, Chief Executive Officer of London Square, stated: “Positioned in one of the most globally recognised areas of the capital and destined to be an outstanding addition to London’s skyline, Westminster Tower will become a signature development for our business, reflecting our track record and expertise in the delivery of exceptional homes that will excite buyers within the prime residential market.”
The interiors of Westminster Tower are designed to create a tranquil and elevated atmosphere above the bustling city. Drawing inspiration from the breathtaking riverside location and the London landmarks framed by each apartment’s floor-to-ceiling windows, the design blends traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance. Features will include engineered timber chevron flooring, bespoke joinery, and thoughtfully curated ambient lighting to enhance the sophistication of each living space.
In keeping with London Square’s commitment to offering world-class quality, residents at Westminster Tower will enjoy a host of impressive amenities crafted to meet the highest standards. These include a 24-hour concierge service, a state-of-the-art fitness suite, a private cinema room, and stylish resident lounges, all designed to elevate daily living. Each apartment is equipped with top-tier Miele appliances and a home automation system, marrying modern convenience with timeless opulence.
The development of Westminster Tower marks the continued growth of London Square under Aldar. Following the completed acquisition in 2023, London Square has acquired 12 new sites for development across London.
