King's Cross, once primarily known for its railway station and industrial past, has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years.
This dynamic area in the heart of London is now one of the city's most exciting and rapidly developing neighbourhoods.
Developments
Argent has been a significant part of the largest span of regeneration at Kings Cross and we have had the pleasure of working across all phases of their state of the art residential development, including their latest and final phase Capella.
We have seen first-hand that its bold architecture, beautiful communal gardens and variety of apartment layouts were designed to cater to a diverse range of residents and it's easy to see why it has fast become a sought out location to live in.
This is further demonstrated by the speed that Knight Frank's Kings Cross Lettings team have been securing tenancies in; with many of the homes we've furnished receiving asking price and above offers in their successful pre-marketing campaigns.
Where our clients are occupying their new home themselves, we are equally delighted working with them to design every inch of their home to taste, using the stunning specification of Capella as a fantastic canvas to begin with.
