Related Argent launched Author King’s Cross - 182 rental homes in the King’s Cross estate: providing design-led apartments, state-of-the-art residents’ amenities and services with landscaped communal spaces and exclusive benefits. The estate is a Build-to-Rent (BTR) delivered in partnership with global investors The Olayan Group.
Located at 180 York Way, Author King’s Cross comprises three contemporary buildings ranging in height between three and 16 storeys, centred on a landscaped courtyard garden designed by Urban Fabric. Related Argent has worked closely with leading architectural practices David Morley Architects, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, and Haptic to give each building a distinctive style. The homes are a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with many including a private balcony.
The ground floor amenity space designed by Conran & Partners includes a double-height lobby, multiple residents’ lounges, and a fitness centre with a studio room for yoga/meditation and personal training. There is also a creche, snug screening room with popcorn machine, private dining room and coffee and wine bar, alongside pet-friendly amenities including a pet wash. For transport, there are secure bicycle storage and car parking spaces with electric charging.
Tom Goodall, Managing Director of Related Argent said, “We are excited to launch Author King’s Cross, our BtR scheme in one of London’s most sought-after locations. We have led the redevelopment and rejuvenation of this area for the last twenty years and it is wonderful to now offer rental homes at King’s Cross. We are committed to changing the UK rental experience for the better and have plans to expand our BtR homes in the UK across a range of large and smaller sites.”
Michael Herrington, Director of Build-to-Rent Operations at Related Argent said: “Author King’s Cross provides residents with everything on their doorstep, with state-of-the-art lifestyle amenities to support healthy living, work-from-home, entertainment and relaxation. The design-led homes and exceptional service for residents combine to make this the place for Londoners searching for a rental home. We are already seeing strong enquiry levels and we look forward to welcoming our first residents.”
The site has been developed in partnership with the King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership.
