MAJOR NEW LONDON DEVELOPMENTS [Part 2]

HOLLAND PARK GATE W8

Holland Park Gate is an ongoing residential development by Lodha on the site of the old Odeon cinema, opposite Holland Park. Consisting of a range of luxurious apartments within four buildings, finished amenities will include a dedicated health club and spa, 25 meter pool gym, dining room and library.

Holland Park

Holland Park opposite, extends over 54 acres. It originally belonged to Sir Walter Cope, chancellor to James 1 in the 17th century. The Japanese ‘Kyoto’ garden within the park contains native plants, stones and traditional materials. It’s a great place to quietly reflect on the fragility of existence and time's unstoppable advance. Holland Park is also famous for it’s resident peacocks, creating a splash of regal splendour among flowers and fountains.

Who is behind the Lodha empire?

Mangal Prabhat Lodha, group founder, is one of India’s most successful real estate entrepreneurs. He began buying Mumbai property in the 1980’s. Today the Lodha group has multiple ongoing projects including the now completed World One Tower in Mumbai, currently the tallest completed building in India. Success in the real estate world earned Lodha an entry in the Forbes global ’50 richest Indians’ list. The group is now run by his son.

Concierge

Saint Amand will act as concierge once the project is completed.

Concierge companies like Saint Amand offer highly personalised levels of service, as a reported anecdote illustrates. A guest checked into Mumbai’s Taj Lands End Hotel to watch Indian Premier League cricket, only to find the tournament had shifted to South Africa for that year. Returning after her day out in Mumbai, the hotel concierge presented her with flight options to South Africa, planned itinerary and complimentary tickets to watch the next IPL game. That concierge was soon recruited by Sant Amand.

Needless to say, the guest was impressed.
