FIRST RESIDENTS MOVE IN AS £70M QUEEN’S GAMBIT INSPIRED MEDIA CITY DEVELOPMENT OFFICIALLY HANDS OVER

Latimer, the development arm of Clarion Housing Group, has announced the handover of the first apartment block at its flagship £70m High Definition development in Media City, as the first residents move in just in time for Christmas.

The scheme, interior designs for which were inspired by the hit Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit, has reached another significant milestone as the Alto building comprising 155 apartments has been completed.

The communal areas at High Definition have also been completed, which include the Club HD terrace lounge, co-working spaces and a multi-function private room.

Residents will become exclusive members of Club HD, with access to the lounge complete with rich velvet curved retro sofas, leather reclining chairs, stools shaped like giant chess pieces and wooden tables with their own built-in wine bottle holders.

High Definition residents will also be able to take advantage of co-working spaces equipped with hyperoptic broadband and private meeting pods ideal for Teams or Zoom calls, creating a comfortable and efficient working environment outside of their apartments.

The private room is equipped with a flatscreen TV and surround sound speakers, and can be reserved for larger business meetings during the day and social activities in the evening.

Paul Walker, National Sales Director at Clarion Housing Group, said:

“It’s fantastic to reach another key moment in the life of our exciting High Definition development as we see the first residents make it their home.

“Straight away, they will be able to get the full High Definition experience, with access to the luxurious residents’ lounge and high spec co-working spaces, which will make the development feel more than just a home, but a vibrant community.”

Overall, 132 one-bedroom, 136 two-bedroom and 12 three-bedroom apartments are available at High Definition. Prices for one-bedroom apartments start at £203,000. Two-bedroom apartments are available from £286,000 and three-bedroom apartments are available from £430,000.

Aria – the second residential block at High Definition – is scheduled to handover in February of next year.

A total of 100 apartments of the 280 will be available through Latimer’s shared ownership offering, allowing people to part buy, part rent a property while increasing their share of ownership over time until they own their property outright, eliminating the need for aspiring homeowners to put down a high deposit in order to buy a property.
