Final release of Mettle & Poise penthouse and duplex apartments

With all other apartments now sold, Rydon is embarking on the final release at Mettle & Poise, comprising a selection of penthouse and duplex apartments. These carefully crafted new homes have been woven into the fabric of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Hackney Road E2.

The penthouses, which have superbly appointed interiors, will offer stunning views of the London skyline. The majority of duplex apartments each feature their own private street level entrances on vehicle free Goldsmiths Row, adjacent to Haggerston Park and the Hackney City Farm. With private outdoor space and three bedrooms on the first floor, the duplexes provide similar accommodation to a traditional house, but with all the benefits of modern apartment living.

Rydon, in partnership with Family Mosaic, is developing the new homes, all of which will be compliant with the London Housing Design Guide, developed by the Mayor of London, and Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4.

Located on an historic site in the heart of East London, Mettle & Poise is situated between Broadway Market and Columbia Road, within walking distance of Shoreditch. Hoxton Station is a nine minute walk. This is an enviable location, and the development offers outstanding value for the area.

The successful launch of the first phase, held at the nearby Town Hall Hotel in Bethnal Green, saw a large number of local residents purchasing apartments. The launch for the penthouses and duplexes, again aimed at the London market, will be held at the Ace Hotel in nearby Shoreditch on the 12th February.

Tom Rigby, Development Director for Rydon, commented:

“We’re delighted to bring to the market this final phase of penthouses and duplexes, offering purchasers an opportunity to own a truly unique property in this area, with the added feature of private outdoor space or incredible views of London. We expect demand for these thoroughly modern apartments, which capture the charm and character of the site’s rich history, to once again outstrip availability.”

The carefully planned redevelopment provides 188 new homes, 116 of which are available for private sale, with a range of one, two & three bedroom apartments, penthouses and duplexes.

Mettle & Poise is being marketed through Currell New Homes and JLL.

Peter Murray, Residential Development Director at JLL comments: “Following strong market performance during 2014, Mettle & Poise has been a runaway success. Launched to the UK market only, many of the apartments have been purchased by those living in the Hackney area demonstrating a real confidence from domestic buyers in the local market and proving that Hackney is a residential destination in its own right. Those that have bought and expressed interest have been attracted by the character of the development along with its excellent location, high quality specification yet affordable price point.”

The design by award-winning architects HTA Design LLP has been developed to complement its location by incorporating the original and historic façade, on Hackney Road, which is being retained and refurbished as a permanent reminder of the site’s long and rich history.

The building was first used as a hospital in 1870, with the creation of the buildings along Goldsmiths Row, and later Hackney Road at the beginning of the 20th century. A series of alterations and extensions continued from the 1930s through to the 1970s.

Mettle & Poise is situated within a conservation area and is adjacent to several Grade II listed properties.
