Guinness Homes has recently launched Shared Ownership homes at Argenta; the first ever collection of homes to be released within the landmark new masterplan for Silvertown. Part of a total of 430 homes that Guinness are delivering within the masterplan area, this first launch brings 66 new one and two-bedroom homes to market.
Set to become one of east London’s most iconic neighbourhoods, Silvertown is one of the most distinctive and historic parts of London’s Royal Docks. A major placemaking project being delivered by The Silvertown Partnership, the new 27-acre masterplan will eventually deliver thousands of new homes; along with new commercial spaces, leisure facilities, bars, cafes and a revitalised waterfront with open swimming facilities and public parks.
Hellyn Fairbrother, London and South East Sales Manager at Guinness Homes, comments: “We are delighted to be delivering the first homes for sale at Silvertown, and we are proud that Argenta plays a part in bringing forward much-needed affordable housing within this significant regeneration project for London. This is an exciting opportunity for buyers to get into a growing area right at the beginning.”
Jess Wallis, Development Director on behalf of The Silvertown Partnership, comments: “The launch of Argenta marks a major milestone for Silvertown and the first step in bringing this historic part of east London back to life. Our partnership with Guinness Homes will deliver the first new homes in a neighbourhood shaped by its industrial heritage and reimagined as a new waterside destination for the capital. Set opposite the dock and framed by the iconic Silo D and Millennium Mills, Argenta is a place where people can live, work and thrive.”
Offering a stylish selection of one- and two-bedroom apartments, homes at Argenta have been designed with modern living in mind. The spacious properties are complete with contemporary interiors; high specification finishes and fully integrated kitchens. Each apartment comes with its own private balcony and access to a private resident’s garden – ideal for relaxing after work or enjoying the buzz of the Docklands below. Several of the homes in this phase will offer views across Silvertown to the east, and towards North Greenwich to the west.
In addition to the impressive on-site facilities planned, there is already plenty on offer for Argenta purchasers in the area. Minutes from the new homes is a selection of independent cafes, restaurants and local supermarkets. The Thames Barrier Park is just a short walk away, and on weekends, residents can head to Royal Victoria Dock and enjoy watersports, riverside walks and a plethora of places to eat and drink – including boutique brunch spots, eateries, local breweries and waterside pubs.
Ideal for commuters and city explorers, Silvertown offers 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 to the Elizabeth Line – making central London and Heathrow Airport a simple journey away. Even better, the recently opened Silvertown Tunnel has slashed travel times across the Thames, linking Silvertown to the Greenwich Peninsula and the O2 Arena in minutes.
Prices start from £97,500 for a 25% share of a one bedroom apartment (full market value £390,000) and £126,250 for a 25% share of a two bedroom apartment (full market value £505,000).
