Notting Hill Genesis Sells Site at Canada Water

Notting Hill Genesis announced today that it has exchanged contracts for the sale of its 1.8ha site at Canada Water. The site was purchased in 2014 by the then Notting Hill Housing Group. Since then, 234 private rented sector (PRS) flats have been constructed for the Notting Hill Genesis Group, operated by its PRS subsidiary Folio London. In addition, a new store has been constructed for and occupied by Decathlon.

Upon reviewing the remainder of the site, it was established that it would best be used for commercial space, not a core activity of Notting Hill Genesis and so the decision was taken to sell.

The project at Canada Water has been developed in partnership with Sellar Design and Development Limited.

Contracts have been exchanged with Art Invest Real Estate to buy the site for GBP140m, with GBP10m payable before 31 March 2020, GBP95m in 2020/21 and the balance in 2021/22. Notting Hill Genesis will settle liabilities relating to the scheme in 2020/21, leading to net proceeds of about GBP75m in that financial year.

Savills acted on behalf of the Vendor and Cushman & Wakefield acted on behalf of the purchaser.

Speaking on behalf of Notting Hill Genesis, Chief Executive, Kate Davies said:

"It has been amazing to help transform the Canada Water area, creating an exceptional location to live, work and socialise. Our Porters Edge private rented scheme will provide homes for Londoners for decades to come. We are pleased to be selling the remainder of the site so that someone else can take forward this exciting work."
