If you’re looking to put down roots in east London’s Royal Docks, Silvertown is the neighbourhood to watch. Argenta, a contemporary collection of Shared Ownership homes by Guinness Homes, brings stylish riverside living within reach for first time buyers seeking to live in a vibrant new community
Argenta is the first collection of homes to be released within Lendlease’s landmark masterplan for Silvertown, which is set to become one of east London’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Part of a total of 430 homes that Guinness is delivering within the masterplan area, the first launch will bring 66 new homes to market – an exciting opportunity for pioneering buyers to invest in the development and the growing area early on.
Past meets future at Silvertown
Silvertown is one of the most distinctive and historic parts of the Royal Docks. Once known for its industrial past, Silvertown will be transformed into a vibrant waterside community. The new 27-acre masterplan will eventually deliver thousands of homes, along with new commercial spaces, leisure facilities, bars, cafes, a revitalised waterfront with open swimming facilities and public parks – creating a lively hub centred around the water.
Residents won’t have to wait, however, with plenty on offer across the Royal Docks. From Argenta, Royal Victoria Dock is just around the corner where you can enjoy watersports (from canoeing to paddleboarding), sauna sessions and riverside walks. Link up with the Thames Barrier Park just across from Argenta, with cafes, restaurants and local supermarkets nearby. Events, exhibitions and pop ups are always appearing, thanks to local businesses, and the ExCel centre, across the dock.
One of the main draws of the area is its fantastic transport links, well-connected to the rest of the capital and beyond. The area is served by the DLR at Pontoon Dock, providing easy links to Canning Town, Canary Wharf and the City. Custom House station, just a short walk away, connects you to the Elizabeth Line – making central London and Heathrow airport a simple journey away. Even better, the Silvertown Tunnel opened earlier this year has slashed travel times across the Thames, linking Silvertown to the Greenwich Peninsula and the O2 Arena in minutes.
Discover Argenta
Offering a stylish selection of one and two bedroom apartments, homes at Argenta have been designed with modern living in mind. Expect contemporary interiors, spacious layouts and fully integrated kitchens, with each apartment offering its own private balcony – ideal for relaxing after work or enjoying the buzz of the Docklands below. The beautiful landscaped, private residents’ garden, exclusive for customers in this first phase, provides you with even more outdoor space. A number of the homes in this phase will offer views across Silvertown to the east, and towards North Greenwich to the west. Whether you’re looking for a stylish starter home or a long-term home in a growing area, Argenta ticks all the boxes.
Available exclusively with Shared Ownership, new homes from Guinness at Argenta will offer first time buyers a more affordable route on to the property ladder in east London, typically requiring much lower deposits and monthly payments than properties on the open market.
