CK ASSET ANNOUNCES SALES LAUNCH OF POWERHOUSE
AN EXCLUSIVE RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS WITHIN THE HISTORIC WALLS OF LONDON ’ S LAST GREAT INDUSTRIAL ICON
CK Asset Holdings Limited (“ CK Asset ”) has announced the sales launch of Powerhouse at Chelsea Waterfront , SW10 0QD .
The iconic Lots Road Power Station which had powered the London Underground for over a century has been transformed into an exceptionally rare collection of 260 apartments – the Powerhouse . When fully completed , this post-modernist masterpiece with a hallowed history will enjoy a resplendent future as London ’ s most refined and exclusive residential address overlooking the River Thames .
Once the driving force behind the rapid expansion of modern London , Lots Road Power Station generated electricity to keep citizens on the move during the Blitz of the Second World War . The repurposing of the Power Station and the delivery of Chelsea
Waterfront represent the most dramatic transformation in the borough in living memory . A triumph of engineering built on a scale never seen before , Powerhouse was the first of the city ’ s three great power stations built over a century ago and the last being redeveloped . The other two are Battersea , and Bankside ( which is now better known as the Tate Modern , one of London ’ s premier tourist destinations ).
Dr Edmond Ho , Director & General Manager of Hutchison Property Group ( UK ) Limited , said : “ This latest project being unveiled at Chelsea Waterfront - Powerhouse - is an iconic London landmark and a cathedral of the industrial age which has been rejuvenated by a world-class team of architects and designers . Taking on a revolutionary new form , Powerhouse will offer a 21st century living experience like no other in one of London ’ s most coveted boroughs .”
