Knight Frank launches New Development on Plymouth Hoe

Developer Henley Real Estate in conjunction with Knight Frank and Charstedge is launching 1620 The Residences, a new development of 88 ocean fronting apartments on Plymouth Hoe.

Due to complete in 2020, the scheme takes its name from the 400th anniversary of the sailing of the Mayflower. It will offer a selection of one, two and three bedroom apartments, each with a private balcony or terrace to take advantage of the outstanding views of Plymouth Sound and Drake’s Island. Extensive floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan layouts further encourage the seamless transition between inside and outside living.

The scheme boasts an unrivalled location on Cliff Road, adjacent to Plymouth Hoe, making it one of the last remaining development sites along the sea front. The two-acre site also includes plans for an 80-bedroom hotel with two restaurants, conferencing facilities, ballroom and luxury spa. Residents of the apartments will have full access to the hotel facilities, with each of the two landmark buildings benefitting from panoramic views from all floors. Residents will also have access to a communal south-facing lawned terrace.

1620 The Residences is situated within walking distance of the centre of Plymouth, which is steeped in maritime history. The town has a varied selection of shops, plus restaurants at Royal William Yard, and the largest regional theatre in the UK. Plymouth also has a popular university with a vibrant influx of young students from across the globe.

Chris Henley, Director of Henley Real Estate commented, "With unrivalled Ocean views, each apartment at 1620 The Residences has a panoramic aspect view to one of the World's best natural harbours. This collection of luxury apartments, combined with the new hotel, will set a new standard in the city and become the perfect place live in the region.”

Francine Watson, Residential Development Associate at Knight Frank commented, “1620 The Residences presents a unique opportunity for buyers to own a contemporary home with fantastic views, in close proximity to the centre of Plymouth. Plus, with the facilities of the hotel available for residents’ use, there is no other new build like it in the area.”

Miles Kevin, Director at Chartsedge commented, “The creation of The Residences and the boutique Hotel at 1620 will underline The Hoe as the premier address in Plymouth. With all that this development offers, demand is sure to be high for these contemporary and exclusive homes.”
