Topland Group, one of the UK’s largest privately owned investment groups, has completed its repositioning of a prime central London residential scheme in Kensington alongside its joint venture partners, Residence One and O&D London.
Based in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the landmark mansion block known as Allen House includes 45 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury residences in addition to 2 penthouses with uninterrupted skyline views from Hyde Park to Buckingham Palace.
A comprehensive and sympathetic restoration of the Edwardian inspired early twentieth century red-brick mansion, Allen House has been designed to create a luxury residential experience, with each residence featuring custom-made kitchens, high-quality fittings and bespoke joinery.
The scheme also boasts a partnership with luxury department store Harrods to provide residents with a priority line concierge service, enabling quick and easy reservations at any of Harrods’ 23 restaurants.
The property also provides for a collection of premium amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness room, residents lounge, a designated meeting room and an exclusive resident’s garden brought to life by Kinland Design to create privacy in an urban oasis. The units also enjoy highly desirable RBKC residents parking permits.
Located just a short walk from the renowned Kensington High Street and within a 10 minute tube ride from the West End, residents will enjoy some of prime central London’s most exclusive bars, restaurants, and retailers. Residents are also a short stroll from Hyde Park and all its wonderful amenities in addition to Notting Hill.
Allen House’s redevelopment will also support Topland in realising its net zero carbon commitments, high quality insulation and advanced heating and cooling technology all incorporated into the building. Topland has also retained Allen House’s historical external facade to maintain the building’s period features and reduce embodied carbon emissions on site.
Antony Iannaccone, Head of Joint Ventures at Topland, said: “The completion of Allen House represents a significant milestone in this historic building’s story. Bringing it back to its former glory has been a unique and rewarding challenge, but one that’s created a stunning environment for people to live work and thrive.
Sol Zakay, Chairman & CEO said: “In sympathetically refurbishing many of Allen House’s original features and characteristics, we’ve developed a resident led experience that seamlessly blends contemporary and Edwardian styles into a property that is both unique and in keeping with the spirit of Kensington’s diverse built environment. It is testament to what can be achieved when we think ambitiously and creatively about how to restore and modernise the City of London with sustainability in mind.”
