Hampstead mega mansion to become super-prime apartments
AI Article Summary
Bentry Capital has acquired Branch Hill House in Hampstead Village for £16.4 million to transform the Edwardian mansion into a complex of super-prime apartments. The project, named No.1 Hampstead, will feature 50 high-end lateral apartments surrounded by landscaped gardens. Originally built in the early 20th century, the building will retain its Edwardian charm, with a new wing replacing a 1960s extension. The construction will be handled by Bentry Capital’s Mellior Group, with a three-year completion timeline.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how high-value heritage properties can be revitalized into premium residential spaces, signaling potential for similar developments in Canadian cities with historical architecture. For Canadian builders, this means considering the complexities involved in merging modern building techniques with preserving historical aesthetics. It could also influence local municipal policies regarding conversion approvals and premium housing market trends.
