Live near the stars! The wait is now over – purchasers can finally reserve a new apartment at Urban Island, when Copthorn Homes opens its marketing suite close to the Three Mills Film Studios, on this premier island oasis in Bromley-by-Bow, East London on 29th November.
The 47 one and two bedroom apartments and duplexes at Urban Island are situated on Three Mills Island, adjacent to the Three Mills Film Studios where the next series of Footballers Wives is currently being shot and Hollywood actor Harvey Keitel has just finished filming Red Light Runner. Other recent projects have included Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, 28 Days Later, Big Brother and Prime Suspect, while Robbie Williams has also recorded there.
For those looking to get a preview of the development, a comprehensive new website is also available for viewing at www.urbanisland.gb.com. Prospective purchasers can take a virtual tour of the apartment building, register their details and keep up to speed on the progress of the development as well as information on the first phase of apartments being released for sale.
Urban Island embodies all the trademarks that keep Copthorn Homes at the forefront of innovation in design. The striking external profile of the new landmark building features a stepped roofline cascading down from a seven storey pinnacle to provide a sense of depth and proportion, with galvanised steel balconies and cedar wood panelling adding further dramatic detail. A landscaped deck area provides an exciting centrepiece within the development for residents and there is also secure underground parking and lift access to all floors.
The apartments are unusually spacious with open plan layouts and at least one balcony each, while full height glazing maximises natural light and the sense of space. This sleek contemporary approach is complemented by a specification of great texture and colour, including hardwood oak floors to the living areas and kitchens and bespoke fitted units with splashes of stainless steel. The stylish bathrooms and en suites are white with limestone and mosaic tiling and chrome fittings.
With the rise of London Docklands as a cosmopolitan centre for commerce and socialising, coupled with vastly improved rail links and amenities, London's East End is experiencing a huge renaissance in popularity and growth, with the further lure of great nightlife and top quality restaurants also proving a big draw. Wise investors and city hotshots are already turning their attention to this affordable area that offers the perfect lifestyle balance between being close to the buzz and escaping the pace, while also showing great potential for capital growth.
Urban Island offers an unusual and tranquil lifestyle, surrounded by water and adjacent to a conservation area, while a short journey via the excellent public transport links takes residents away from this calm retreat to work or play in the City, Canary Wharf and Central London. The development is less than five minutes walk to Bromley-by-Bow underground station, which connects with the Hammersmith and District Lines. Stratford BR Mainline and Bow Church and Devon's Road DLR stations are also within a ten minute walk.
Copthorn Homes is part of Countryside Properties PLC.
