Construction is advancing rapidly on 100 Kensington, a £500 million residential-led development by SevenCapital and MARK Capital Management that will deliver the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s only new vertical village.
Located on West Cromwell Road, the landmark scheme will feature 462 new homes across seven architecturally distinctive buildings, with completion scheduled for early 2027.
The development, which is 25% complete, is being delivered by main contractor Ardmore and includes the tallest residential tower ever constructed in the borough – a 29-storey landmark building currently at its 18th floor. Topping out is expected by early 2026.
With 276 market sale apartments and 186 affordable homes managed by Notting Hill Genesis, the scheme balances high-spec living with accessibility.
ROOFTOP GARDENS
Communal and private amenities include rooftop gardens, a health club with gym and swimming pool, retail and office space, and a residents’ lounge and cinema pavilion overlooking a landscaped podium garden.
The 1.7-hectare site is being developed with an architectural masterplan by John McAslan & Partners, with detailed design by Corstorphine & Wright.
The buildings will be accessed via a new pedestrian plaza, featuring planting, trees and commercial frontage, creating a new gateway into Kensington.
EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY
James Moody, Chief Operating Officer of SevenCapital, says: “We have carefully curated this wonderful space which represents exceptional quality and outstanding bespoke design. 100 Kensington is a unique offering, the only new vertical village in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
“With its tranquil podium landscaped garden, rooftop garden terraces, elevated leisure facilities and premium apartments, residents will benefit from enhanced security, privacy and a strong sense of community.
“This residential quarter provides both competitively priced market sale homes and much needed affordable housing.”
AMBITIOUS PROJECT
Three mansion buildings – inspired by Kensington’s Victorian and Edwardian heritage – will rise 12 to 14 storeys and include full-height windows, brick façades and private balconies.
Meanwhile, a stepped 12-storey tower will feature market sale apartments and rooftop terraces. Prices are expected to start from £895,000.
Communal interiors and layouts are being designed by Conran & Partners, while award-winning landscape architects IDP are overseeing the podium garden and rooftop green spaces.
Peak construction will see up to 900 workers on site as one of the borough’s most ambitious residential projects continues towards phased completion in 2026.
