Foreword

Nine Elms is undergoing a spectacular and radical

transformation from inner city twilight zone to shining
example of world class urban redevelopment creating a new
landmark riverside district for Central London. I am proud
that our development at Embassy Gardens is to be the
centrepiece of the new Nine Elms.

In the course of the last twenty years, we at Ballymore have

been involved in some of the most iconic and successful urban
regeneration schemes in London. But in many ways, this is our
most exciting and prestigious project to date. To find an
outstanding development opportunity at the very heart of London
in the twenty first century, is close to miraculous. It has given
us the opportunity to create a unique living and working
environment, with a lasting impact on Central London.
So as well as being a source of pride, it gives us a great sense
of responsibility to create buildings worthy of their setting.

This is undoubtedly the most exciting new chapter in the story

of riverside London and quite possibly the last time the Capital
will see the creation of a completely new district, where none
existed before.

Nine Elms is the culmination to a 30-year programme of regeneration for London’s

South Bank. Extending eight miles from Tower Bridge to Battersea Bridge, this part
of London has come alive with a chain of new centres for urban development
and world class culture.

One Embassy Gardens will take its place on a list of London landmarks including
City Hall, the Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, the Shard, the London Eye and
Battersea Power Station.

 NINE ELMS:
AN EXTRAORDINARY
REGENERATION
STORY

The South Bank is the most exciting urban regeneration project

that London has ever seen. Over thirty years, the area has been
transformed into a new district combining the best of culture, retail
and business in a formerly under-utilised swathe of the central London
riverside. With the transformation of Nine Elms, the area linking
Vauxhall and Battersea, that project is finally complete.

15
 ON E E M BA SSY GA R DE NS

London’s Third City Centre

Dubbed ‘London’s third city centre’, The South Bank has seen a constant
stream of landmark cultural activities and development successes,
evolving it into a world-class destination. The district of Nine Elms
is the last piece in the South Bank puzzle, transforming this previously
industrial landscape into a hub of activity.

The proposed Nine Elms footbridge immediately next to Embassy
Gardens means Westminster, Chelsea and Victoria will be just minutes
away by foot. Shortlisted designs for the bridge have now been revealed,
while £26m has been contributed towards a Nine Elms infrastructure
package to support growth in the area, with tens of thousands of new
jobs and homes now forming a remarkable new chapter for London.

There is a picturesque central pond with a plank-decked bridge,
while sunken lawns provide opportunities for sports and communal

artworks confirms this legacy.

Sean Mulryan, Chairman and Group Chief Executive of the Ballymore

Group, has worked closely with curator and art historian
Sir Norman Rosenthal to devise Embassy Garden’s contribution
to the constellation of art that defines the South Bank.

Inspired by the work of the Public Art Fund project in New York,
they are working to ensure that Linear Park harnesses the great energy
of British art. A series of major new sculptures from leading British
artists will offer a contemporary counterpoint to the statues and
monuments of London’s other green spaces.
