DAMAC Tower | Apartments in Nine Elms

High-Fashion Architecture in Nine Elms

DAMAC Tower, also known as AYKON London One, is a landmark residential skyscraper located at 63-71 Bondway in Vauxhall. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and constructed by Multiplex, the 50-storey tower features a striking combination of stone, terracotta, and glass. The development stands out as a unique architectural addition to the Nine Elms regeneration district on the South Bank of the River Thames.

The project is the first major residential collaboration in Europe between developer DAMAC Properties and fashion brand Versace Home. All communal spaces and apartment interiors reflect this design partnership, utilizing signature Versace patterns, Greek Key motifs, and high-end Italian finishes.

Location and Connectivity

Situated in Zone 1, DAMAC Tower offers residents direct access to one of London's most active transport nodes. Vauxhall station is located less than 200 metres from the entrance, providing rapid connections across the capital.

• Vauxhall Station (Victoria line & National Rail): 2 min walk
• Nine Elms Station (Northern Line Extension): 8 min walk
• St George Wharf Pier (River bus services): 5 min walk
• Waterloo Station: 10 min via rail from Vauxhall
• Green Park Station: 6 min via Victoria line

The local area features the newly created Linear Park, linking Vauxhall with Battersea Power Station. The United States Embassy and the commercial hub of Battersea are also within walking distance.

Resident Amenities and Facilities

The development features extensive on-site amenities, concentrated on the 23rd floor. Residents have access to a 20-metre indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi, which are styled with Versace mosaics and look out over the London skyline. A modern gym offers panoramic views of the River Thames and central London.

The residential lobby and lounge on the lower floors are fully furnished by Versace Home. Additional services include a private cinema, a dedicated children’s playroom, and a 24-hour concierge. Secure underground valet parking and optional hospitality services are available.

Investment Context and Considerations

The Nine Elms area has undergone a multi-billion-pound regeneration over the last decade, turning industrial land into a prime residential zone. The addition of the Northern Line Extension has improved local transit options, reinforcing rental demand from young professionals working in Westminster and the City.

Potential buyers should note that Nine Elms is characterized by high-density residential towers, which can limit the views from some lower-floor apartments. The proximity to Vauxhall station and the adjacent railway viaduct means some street-level noise is present. However, the apartments are built with triple-glazed windows to maintain internal quiet.
