The development aims to offer elderly residents of the Royal Borough, to continue to live to a high standard, whilst also receiving quality care.
“We have worked closely with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council to draw up a scheme that will appeal to discerning residents in retirement. The Borough has a significant stable, ageing, demographic that is asset rich yet whose needs are insufficiently provided for by the current housing stock. We aim to provide a community style of living for this group, supported by excellent on-site medical care, close to local amenities, shops and restaurants,” said Mr Kwek Leng Beng, CDL Executive Chairman.
The development will feature top notch facilities, including a luxury spa, swimming pool, communal library, private doctor’s surgery, 24-hour concierge, dedicated nurse care rooms and car parking.
