Battersea, Sisk start next phase of riverside neighbourhood development
KUALA LUMPUR: Battersea Power Station Development Company and Sisk have broken ground on Prospect Place South, the next phase of development for its riverside neighbourhood.
Battersea Power Station Development Company and Sisk have begun construction on Prospect Place South, marking the next phase in the development of the riverside neighbourhood. This project, designed by Gehry Partners, will consist of two buildings that will complete the pedestrianised high street, Electric Boulevard. The new structures will house approximately 300 homes, 65,000 square feet of commercial space for shops, cafes, and restaurants, a 15,000 square foot Community Hub, and an expanded bike hub with 600 free spaces.
Notable attendees at the groundbreaking ceremony included Battersea Labour MP Marsha de Cordova, Wandsworth council leader Councillor Robert Morritt, and Battersea Power Station chief executive officer James Saunders. The construction of Prospect Place South is anticipated to generate 400 jobs, with a goal of 20 percent of the workforce being local.
This development is a significant step towards the realisation of the neighbourhood's long-term vision and will provide additional jobs and community spaces for residents. A planning application will be submitted soon for the revised masterplan, which could deliver up to 3.2 million square feet of space in future phases.
