    GEHRY PARTNERS DESIGNED NEXT PHASE OF BPS DEVELOPMENT TO PROGRESS FOLLOWING PLANNING CONSENT

    Planning consent for the next phase of Battersea Power Station has been granted, marking another major step in delivering the vision for the 42-acre regeneration project.

    Battersea Power Station is to bring forward a new phase of residential, retail, community and leisure development having secured detailed planning approval from Wandsworth Council, completing Electric Boulevard, London’s newest high street.

    This latest phase adds two new Gehry Partners designed residential buildings comprising 306 new homes. They will form an extension to the highly recognisable existing two buildings at Prospect Place, which are fully sold and occupied, and remain the only residential buildings in the UK designed by Frank Gehry, the world-famous architect and designer of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The ongoing focus on sustainability means these latest designs have a more modern aesthetic to reduce the carbon footprint while green roofs will also be present throughout both buildings, contributing to a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain.

    Gehry Partners’ latest additions to the Battersea Power Station streetscape will juxtapose white sculptural facades, in a postmodern interpretation of John Nash’s neo-classical terraces that are stereotypical of Regency London, in contrast to the stark industrial brick architecture of the historic Power Station.

    In a first for Battersea Power Station and in line with the project’s objective of creating a truly multigenerational community around the iconic Power Station, one of the new buildings, Prospect Place 3, is proposed to include senior living apartments, to be managed by a specialist operator for over 65s and includes access to additional care and on-site facilities.

    The second building, Prospect Place 4, will offer 122 new homes. As with Gehry Partners’ first two buildings at Battersea Power Station, every home within this latest phase will be unique in design. Both buildings will sit on a communal podium, part of which extends to form a private garden square for residents.

    Positioned opposite to the new office building, 50 Electric Boulevard, which is over 50% let, and the western entrance of Battersea Power Station’s London Underground station that is due to open later this summer, this latest approval allows Battersea Power Station to complete the development of London’s newest high street, Electric Boulevard, adding 70,000 sq ft of new commercial space for shops, cafés and restaurants. Existing shops on the high street include children’s clothing brand Lindex, Zara, Massimo Dutti, Boots Beauty and Borough Kitchen with more to come including WatchHouse, The Salad Project and R.W. Wolf barbers.

    This newest phase further extends Battersea Power Station’s objective of creating new facilities and opportunities for the local area, expanding the existing community and cultural programme with the addition of a 15,000 sq ft Community Hub. This new civic space will be designed in partnership with Wandsworth Council. Local stakeholders will be consulted on the concept, vision and on the appointment of a specialist community cultural operator, who will curate a programme offering a wide range of events and activities to complement the existing offer.

    To encourage sustainable and healthy travel to and from Battersea Power Station, the new community facilities include an expanded Bike Hub, adjacent to the new Community Hub, which will have 600 spaces available for all, free of charge.

    Through its delivery and beyond, this phase will create over 400 jobs, adding to the existing total of over 6,800 jobs Battersea Power Station has provided to date as well as adding to the 2,500 residents who already call it home.

    Construction is expected to start later this year with completion anticipated in 2029.

    Frank Gehry, Founder of Gehry Partners, LLP, said:

    “I am very happy that the next phase of the Battersea project is underway. These two buildings will help our masterplan, which was designed to create the feeling of a neighbourhood, come to fruition. In keeping the same body language of the original, we have continued the white material of these buildings, referencing the incredible history of the Nash Terraces. The winter gardens help break down the scale of the facades while also giving each unit a beautiful, light-filled space. Our goal from the beginning has been to make something that is unique to London and unique to this incredible new district in the city. I hope that we make the city proud.”

    James Wixley, Head of Development at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said:

    “This milestone is the next step in realising the long-term vision for Battersea Power Station. With detailed planning consent now secured, we’re extending Gehry Partners’ distinctive architectural legacy, adding new homes while introducing senior living for the first time, and completing Electric Boulevard — London’s newest high street. As well as lots of new opportunities in the form of shops, restaurants and jobs, the phase also includes a new Community Hub to support local events and activities which will be designed in close partnership with Wandsworth Council and the wider community.

    We are moving beyond the halfway point in delivering the masterplan and, together with our Malaysian shareholders, we look forward to starting on site in the coming months as we work towards another key milestone at this incredible regeneration project.”

    The regeneration of Battersea Power Station has created a vibrant mixed-used destination for London and a sixth town centre for the London Borough of Wandsworth with the Grade II* listed Power Station at its heart. Over 2,200 homes have been delivered to date, including 386 affordable homes at New Mansion Square in partnership with Peabody. The riverside neighbourhood is also home to more than 150 shops, bars, restaurants, and unique leisure experiences, and a thriving office community with over 3,500 office workers based across over 60 different companies, including Apple who has its 500,000 sq ft UK headquarters inside the Power Station.
