The Whiteley

The Whiteley was featured in HTSI FT Weekend, where Alex Michelin, co-founder of Finchatton, expressed the desire to influence the area's ambiance, much like Chiltern Firehouse did for Marylebone. In a thought-provoking article, Lisa Freedman delves into the renaissance of this London landmark following its £3 billion makeover, pondering whether this revival will bring back the charm that Bayswater was renowned for.

The new properties at The Whiteley are listed for sale by Savills and Knight Frank, with prices commencing at £1,680,000.

The Whiteley presents a selection of off-plan luxury apartments available for purchase, including Studios, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5-bedroom options.

This development involves the transformation of the Grade II listed Whiteley department store, encompassing an expansive area of over 1 million square feet.

Designed by Foster + Partners, the ambitious £1 billion project aims to create a new residential, retail, dining, and hotel complex. It is slated to feature 139 apartments and townhouses, along with 20 new retail and dining establishments. Additionally, the complex will house a cinema, an extensive gym, and the first-ever Six Senses hotel and spa in the UK, offering 110 rooms and a social wellness club.

We've recently shared a series of fresh photographs illustrating the ongoing development at The Whiteley, located on Queensway in Bayswater, London W2.

The Whiteley development has now topped out.

The main contractor Laing O'Rourke and development manager Finchatton welcomed guests to the traditional building ceremony on Tuesday 30th November 2021, to celebrate reaching the highest point of a project’s main structure.

Expanded by Laing O'Rourke started work on-site in January 2020; delivering the building's basement and frame which is situated behind the retained four-storey, Grade II, listed façade on the Queensway elevation. The main construction works began in November 2020.

The official launch of the development took place in November 2021 with off-plan apartments for sale through Knight Frank and Savills starting from £1,500,000.

Paul McNerney, Director of UK Building for Laing O’Rourke, commented: "Laing O’Rourke is proud to be delivering The Whiteley, a landmark building that once redeveloped will create a vibrant new destination for the local community and for visitors to London. An offsite-manufacturing approach has been instrumental in achieving today’s milestone.

Many of the components such as core walls, columns and bespoke façade elements are being manufactured at our Centre of Excellence for Modern Construction in Nottinghamshire before being transported for on-site assembly. This approach provides greater certainty for our client and helps to minimise disruption for the local community.”
