Sky’s the limit for Yorkshire developer as it completes landmark London scheme

Yorkshire’s Caddick Developments has completed a 36-storey scheme in London inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Vauxhall Sky Gardens comprises 194 private apartments and two penthouses together with 35 affordable and six shared ownership flats in the Nine Elms regeneration area close to Battersea Power Station.

The scheme, designed by Carey Jones Chapman Tolcher architects, boasts more than 2,000 sq m of outdoor space.

The centrepiece is the inclusion of two floating gardens that are open to all residents for use all year round.

The building also includes seven floors of commercial office space, totalling more than 4,000 sq m.

Johnny Caddick, chief executive of Caddick Developments, said: “Having a proven track record of successful delivery in the regions, we’re delighted to be announcing the completion of our first residential tower in London. Vauxhall Sky Gardens will bring a completely new type of living to the capital, and be an exciting addition to the London skyline.

“There’s something pretty amazing about having this much greenery in such a densely urbanised part of London. But we’re delighted that such an ambitious concept has proven so popular and we know that residents will be able to enjoy not only the views, but the wider benefits of Nine Elms’s regeneration.

All the private sale apartments are already forward sold.

Caddick Developments is a division of the Wetherby-based family-run construction giant the Caddick Group.
