Posted 28 October 2016 by Keith Osborne

A luxury development of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, close to Bermondsey's fashionable retail street, has been launched by a boutique developer...

A brand new development of high-quality apartments has been launched to bring 56 more new homes to London’s increasingly fashionable SE1 postcode.

Developer Shape Real Estate, in a joint venture with investment company Boultbee London, has unveiled The Taper Building, a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes on the corner of Long Lane and Weston Street, just a brief stroll from Bermondsey Street, the smart shopping and foodie area that is also home to the White Cube gallery.

Prices start at £595,000 at the development. Which will have a double-height reception area with green garden wall, designed to mix modern and period industrial elements, and there is a daily concierge and 24-hour on-site security. There is also a private residents’ gym and a garden courtyard, landscaped by Sheils Flynn, and the development has a sky terrace, with a living roof to encourage wildlife.

Apartments have been styled by Stiff & Trevillion, incorporating contemporary features and finishes to match the high standards of interior specification. There is underfloor heating throughout each property, with comfort cooling to the lounge and master bedroom. Kitchens have fully fitted units with a full array of high-quality integrated appliances and a utility cupboard for the washer/dryer.

There are beautifully designed bathroom and en suites and all master bedrooms have fitted wardrobes, with the three-bedroom apartments also having fitted wardrobes to bedroom two. Every property has private outdoor space as a balcony or terrace.

The launch event in Bermondsey Street features a number of local figures and companies, from an artist doing ‘live painting’ and a DJ/percussionist to a Bermondsey-based gin distiller and the wares of local glassblowers and jewellers.

On Saturday 29 October, the developer will open a ‘pop-up’ marketing suite – a first in the UK – at Piccadilly Circus underground station, with lots of technology to give visitors the chance to experience what life at The Taper Building will look and feel like.

These new homes are within minutes of London Bridge station, which is close to completion of a major regeneration programme and offers a multitude of rail and Underground links.
