Revised plans for Chelsea Barracks still to include 638 homes
Plans to transform the former 12.8-acre Chelsea Barracks in Westminster, London, into a mixed-use development have been revised, but will still include 319 luxury apartments and 319 affordable housing units.The scheme is being constructed by Project Blue (Guernsey) Limited (PBGL), a joint venture between Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company and CPC Group, a development arm of Candy & Candy.
Additionally, a 108-bedroom boutique hotel with two restaurants and a health spa will also be constructed, along with a 79,502 sq ft sports centre, community hall, a public landscaped park and retail units.
Graham Stirk of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, masterplanners for the project, said: “Together with architects Allford Hall Monaghan Morris we’ve designed a series of linear buildings and pavilions that are appropriate to their historic setting in terms of massing and height.”
Chelsea Barracks, originally owned by the Ministry of Defence, was sold to Project Blue for £959m, with a five-year payment plan, in January 2008.
