What makes a New Development popular?

24-hour concierge service

Concierge services may seem a little old fashioned, but they’re becoming very popular in new developments. Providing useful services to residents, a concierge team can also keep residents updated on plans and arrangements for new amenities and facilities in the building. You may be wondering what new developments offer this service? White City Living is a fantastic example, providing 24-hour concierge and other perks too.

Gym

A great gym doesn’t require much space, and renting equipment means it’s very easy for developers to keep it up to date. The convenience of a gym inside a building certainly tempts those who seek a healthier lifestyle to purchase or rent a property in a new build development. If you are looking for a state-of-the-art gym, ‘NOMA’ might just be the perfect solution for you.

Residents-only swimming pool

A swimming pool is very much seen as an added bonus when it comes to purchasing or renting a property. Offering the opportunity to enjoy a gentle dip at your own leisure within the same development as your home. A divine example of this is Damac Tower, where one can head to the 23rd floor and use a swimming pool, jacuzzi, spa and gym all in your own time.

Outdoor space

Open spaces, gardens and parks have always been an appealing oasis. They provide a place to socialise or to indulge in solitary reading and sunbathing. Now more than ever, they are synonymous with freedom, providing a sense of release and respite from domestic confinement. Offering an elegant yet practical formal garden area is this development in Buckinghamshire, where you can soak up the sun and even part take in some al-fresco dining.

Parking

Demand for parking spots is on the rise and a multi-level parking facility would be a stress-relief for those who need to park their car safely and conveniently. Many new developments offer underground parking such as Ravensbourne Manor in Kent, which ensures maximum seclusion and security.

Restaurants and cafés

Dining at home has taken on a new meaning, especially with the option of top food destinations at your door. Culinary experiences are becoming as important as travel connections, as the trend for popular restaurants to open within - or very close to - new developments grows. Where better to experience this than at 100 Sydney Street? Nestled in the heart of Chelsea, the development is just a few minutes’ walk from some of London’s finest restaurants and bars.

Business lounge

Dedicated business lounges allow residents exclusive access to a traditional work-space environment. With today’s growing dependence on technology and an uptick in working from home, it’s understandable that residents seek business lounges that offer good mobile service and reliable broadband.
