£40m “luxury” Mayfair residential development begins construction

Construction has begun on delivering a £40m GDV residential luxury development situated on a private gated road in the heart of Mayfair. It signals the start of an “exciting” joint venture between 1.61 London, Urbanwise, and Valpre Capital.

The site was acquired in March 2022 with planning consent granted in late October of the same year. JJ Rhatigan has been appointed to build the scheme, with works expected to be completed by Q3 2024.

Named Three Kings Mayfair, the site is part of a secure gated road and hidden from outside view. Comprising a new building with eight one-to-three bedroom apartments including two penthouses, the homes offer the “ultimate privacy and luxury” design whilst promising an “unparalleled” living experience in one of London’s “most prestigious” addresses.

The apartments are fully integrated with home automation and feature Herringbone-style timber floors and Arabescato marble borders and contemporary led lit ceilings, accentuated by neoclassical cornicing.

Kitchens present a modern take on a traditional panelled design and combine grained Arabescato marble with modern, white stone worktops and metal framed glass wall cupboards, with appliances from “luxury” brand Gaggenau. Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and Italian designer Gessi tapware feature in the bathrooms.

Three Kings Mayfair will also be complemented with high spec security systems, secure cycle storage, underground parking and eco-friendly credentials such as electric vehicle chargers.

Michael Christou, co-founder of 1.61 London commented: “It’s very rare to find such an exclusive new build residential development in the heart of Mayfair. Its gated location is unparalleled, and we are thrilled to be part of this building’s design journey and delivery.

“Our JV partnership with Urbanwise and Valpre Capital brings a wealth of construction and financial gravitas, making this a formidable and exciting partnership moving forward. As our flagship development, Three Kings Mayfair is a perfect canvas to incorporate our unique, modern design aesthetic that is synonymous with our brand.”

Keith Ewart from Urbanwise added: “We are extremely excited by this new Joint Venture with 1.61 London and Valpre capital which brings together the design expertise and flare of a young celebrated prime residential design team, the proven track record of an experienced developer and the business and funding expertise of an international investment firm.

“Three Kings Mayfair is an ideal opportunity to launch the JV. Boutique, new build developments in Mayfair are very rare and to have the opportunity to bring one to market which also offers such discrete levels of privacy, gated security and leading edge, contemporary luxury is very special indeed.”
