Introducing One West Point: Part of the largest regeneration in West London

The building will be the tallest residential landmark in West London with the highest private sky garden and terrace bar in the whole of West London. Part of the Portal West development it will comprise of four buildings and also benefitting from extensive communal landscaped gardens and courtyards with dedicated space to relax in an urban oasis, alongside numerous shared residential and commercial facilities. The Development will be led by City & Docklands, a leading name for high profile, quality residential development within the London property market. With a track record of 14 highly successful schemes delivering over 2,800 luxury apartments to date, One West Point is set to become the latest and most iconic landmark on West London’s skyline.

One West Point will be served by the most technologically advanced rail network and transport hub in the entirety of the UK. Old Oak Common will be the only high-speed rail interchange in the UK and is located approximately 850 metres from One West Point - little over 10 minutes’ walk. It will be the only hub where HS2, Crossrail, Great Western Mainline and Overground services connect, with the new interchange accommodating around 250,000 passengers daily – comparable only to London Waterloo. A total of 7 rail and tube lines will interconnect across the regeneration zone, including the conveniently situated Central Line services via North Acton a mere 2 minute walk away. The new Acton Crossrail station (6minute walk) will open in 2019 and will offer journey times of 16 minutes to Heathrow, 9 minutes to Bond Street 10 minutes to Tottenham Court Road and 22 minutes to Canary wharf.

The regeneration of Old Oak Common and Park Royal will provide a seminal new place for Londoners to live and work. Part of a 1,600 acre masterplan, the regeneration is the largest of its kind in the UK and a district on a scale equalled only by east London’s Royal Docks. The £26 billion redevelopment will further enhance West London’s appeal, which has seen the recent expansion and growth of White City and Europe’s largest shopping centre, Westfield. The area will also be home to a vast 25 acre, £3 billion new campus for Imperial College London, one of the UK’s leading universities. The regeneration will create up to 40,000 new homes and 65,000 new jobs, fuelling the UK economy by £7.6 billion a year.

Park Royal is already the UK’s prime manufacturing and logistics district and the new residential, retail, education and transport focus will cement Old Oak Common as the go-to destination in West London.

Taking inspiration from classical proportions of architecture, One West Point has an elegant vertical form which is articulated with a textured ‘weave’ created by alternating balconies on each floor; this produces a captivating jewelled effect and provides a unique visual interest to the building. The elegant glass fronted tower will stand majestically in this new modern landscape created in West London. The structure will be the tallest in West London, spanning 42 storeys. One West Point will offer 275 highly specified 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments and penthouses, each with private balcony or terrace, all offering a luxury lifestyle second to none. The top 10 floors of the building will include exclusive access to the private sky garden and terrace bar on the roof. The apartments will allow an abundance of light via the floor-to-ceiling windows to complement the modern, industrial feel created by the inclusion of wide panelled oak flooring and exposed brick walls.
