Occupying a former gas works site between Battersea Park and Battersea Power Station, the Prince of Wales Drive development creates 839 new homes across twelve buildings set around a new public square on its five acre plot.
The buildings rise from 2 storeys to 26 storeys as they approach Battersea Power Station to the north, providing a range of private/affordable accommodation plus 50,000 sq ft of new educational space, a nursery, retail units, cafes, improved pedestrian links and a new landscaped square. An elegant 26 storey campanile tower at the northern boundary of the site terminates the main public vista – which runs 170 metres from Prince of Wales Drive – and provides a new visual landmark for the area.
