St Edward reached a landmark moment in May when they topped out Bankside Gardens, a collection of 461 homes in Green Park Village, Reading. The occasion was celebrated by the tying of a traditional yew branch – a practice dating back to the 8th Century in England – to the roof at No. 1 Bankside Gardens, the first apartment building to reach completion.
The first homes will be ready for residents to move into from August 2022, with the whole development set to complete in 2024.
Residents will benefit from the all-new Reading Green Park Station opening this summer, which will provide quick access to Reading in just six minutes and from there, access to London in just 23 minutes.
Set beside a beautiful lake and surrounded by acres of parkland and landscaped gardens, this collection of design-led 1 and 2-bedroom apartments offers a premium specification and bold, contemporary design.
The homes come with podium gardens and community hub which will have a concierge, gym, cinema and co-working studio. Residents will also have a new Tesco for all their weekly food needs.
Paul Vallone, Executive Chairman of St Edward said: “This marks a significant milestone for Bankside Gardens. Our residents will benefit from superb travel connections to Reading town centre and London, whilst being able to enjoy easy access to the beautiful countryside. They’ll also have fantastic local amenities and be part of a thriving community, supported by our Community Liaison Officer who will be putting on a range of events and activities to help our new residents get to know each other.”
The homes are part of Green Park Village, which is centred around a nine-acre lake with walks, trim trails, play areas, green open space, a new Market Square and Green Park Village Academy primary school.
Prices start at £297,500 for a 1-bedroom apartment.
The topping out comes after the development was recently shortlisted for the Best Housing Scheme at the Planning Awards 2022.
