Notes to Editors
About The Broadway
The Broadway, Westminster SW1 was inspired by the Art Deco features of the neighbouring Grade I listed property, 55 Broadway, once London’s tallest building when it was built in 1929. Northacre and architectural partner Squire and Partners studied the beautifully configured architecture of 1920’s jewellery, and its contemporary interpretations, as a creative direction for the development. The shapes and structures found in luxury retail form the concept for The Broadway’s interiors, and the buildings have been named after three of the world’s most revered diamonds; The Sancy, The Paragon and The Cullinan.
The interiors have been carefully considered to take advantage of the dramatic quality of light created by the unique exterior and interior architectural design and provide a real sense of space alongside an elegant colour palette and contrasting textual effects.
The Broadway provides 16,000 square feet of health, fitness and spa amenities that afford residents the chance to relax and recharge in an exceptional setting. Facilities include an elegant 25m pool, gym and personal training studio, treatment rooms and a spacious, state-of-the-art games room, that can be booked by residents as additional entertainment space, alongside well-equipped meeting rooms, screening room and extensive parking.
In addition, tucked between the six striking towers of The Broadway is Orchard Place, a vibrant living and lifestyle destination imagined to inspire wellbeing and reinvigorate Westminster. A contemporary destination and blended lifestyle ecosystem, Orchard Place has been curated with stylish simplicity to define a new era of living. Visitors and residents alike can experience six pillars of the community: Live, Eat, Shop, Work, Move, Play.
As the area evolves into a new thriving business and leisure neighbourhood for London, a unique mix of carefully curated food and lifestyle retailers will strive to enrich the everyday in a modern 20,025 sq. ft. retail hub. Envisage conscious retailers and pop-ups that align with the Orchard Place wellbeing framework.
Orchard Place also delivers 116,000 sq. ft workplaces, surrounded by public realm and parks in SW1’s vibrant new quarter. The bright and flexible workspaces have been designed by renowned British architectural practice Squire & Partners. Crafted to blend the energy of a modern office with the additional benefits of a contemporary wellness destination, these are spaces for individuals and organisations to learn, grow and thrive.
The apartments range in price from £1.75m to POA.
