The previously derelict and neglected seventy six acre historic Royal Arsenal site in Greenwich bordering Woolwich town centre in greater London was once known as a secret walled city.

The Royal Arsenal housed the United Kingdom’s armaments manufacturing base, it was used for everything from explosives research to ordinance storage and it closed down and fell into ruin back in the 1990s…but now it is being regenerated, restored and Thames River front homes at Royal Arsenal in London are fetching a pretty price indeed!

The massive project to totally transform this incredibly historic and impressive site into home for over 3,500 people, a work location for over 1,000 people and a cultural, historic, retail, business and leisure district for everyone in Greenwich, Woolwich and greater London is well underway and is taking shape fast.

Each of the Grade II listed historic buildings on the expansive site are being carefully and lovingly restored – original features such as cast iron columns, sash windows, grand staircases, arched iron roof trusses and glazed lantern lights are being preserved within buildings that are changing to reflect modern living standards so that those seeking the most luxurious and contemporary river front homes in London can also surround themselves with a unique piece of history and live within a genuinely one of a kind development!

There are about three more years left to go in the regeneration of the entire Royal Arsenal site to bring new life to Greenwich and Woolwich and to enhance this particular part of London.  If you’re looking for a unique home, an incredible investment opportunity or just somewhere pretty darn hot, up and coming and funky to live - then consider the Thames River front homes at Royal Arsenal in London and consider moving fast!

The most recently released building is My HQ (pictured) – it offers residents everything from one to three bedroom apartments, duplexes or penthouses with roof terraces and exceptional river and city views.  All homes overlook an internal tiled courtyard area and each property comes with all state of the art mod cons amenities and high grade finishings.

This is a once in a life time chance to buy into a once in a lifetime development and if you want to know more check out http://www.royal-arsenal.co.uk/ and request a brochure or a viewing today.

Well, it’s not the Caribbean, it’s not the Costa Blanca, it’s Cardiff which is the capital city of Wales in the UK – not as glamorous for sure - but we’re showcasing some stunning UK waterfront apartment on Cardiff Bay for you today that are certainly as chic as properties you can buy elsewhere in the world and they come with the added advantage of being a sure fire good investment bet as well.

Cardiff Bay is an area of the city of Cardiff that has witnessed millions of pounds worth of redevelopment and redesign in the past few years so that today it is the most exciting and desirable place to live in this vibrant and culturally rich city.

The property development we’re showcasing at Cardiff Bay is Waterquarter – a development of one and two bedroom apartments and penthouses that are finished to the highest specifications, come with the option of interior design packages and are seriously in demand from the rental community in Cardiff which is made up of both professionals and students.

Waterquarter is located on the waters of Atlantic Wharf, it’s a stones throw away from the heart of the Cardiff Bay area meaning that all the amenities, facilities, entertainment and lifestyle options are within walking distance…and what’s more it is on all the major transport links and accessible easily to the road arteries that lead into the city centre and around to the various business and university districts in the greater Cardiff area.

Each apartment has been designed to make the most of the waterfront location – large panes of glass in the windows in the main living areas present the inimitable Bay and Atlantic Wharf views in their best light, the bedrooms are quiet havens for rest whilst the kitchen, dining and sitting room areas are open plan and invite communication and interaction.

These apartments are perfectly located between the heart of the city and the very best of Cardiff’s attractions that are available on the Bay therefore they will be hugely in demand in terms of rental and resale making them a seriously good choice for an investor looking for relatively low risk.

In terms of some of the best specification details – you have professionally designed interiors, landscaped garden areas, private allocated parking, superior security and balconies or terraces.  And in terms of internal details – you have the likes of brushed stainless steel sockets and light switches (nice touch), wooden flooring, carpeting and ceramic floor tile options, recessed lighting, linear kitchens with all appliances integrated and top of the range and what’s more…if you want a complete interior design package down to the pictures on the wall and the lamp beside the bed you can have it.

These stunning UK waterfront apartments on Cardiff Bay can be a home, a turnkey business residence, a short term investment or a long term asset.  Check out the website http://www.waterquarter.co.uk/ to see which properties are still available.
