CGI - Aerial view of White City regeneration

A collection of 4 architecturally unique buildings inspired by glazed vases in elegant colours. Suites, one, two and three bedroom apartments are connected to the Water Gardens landscape and higher floors benefit from city views. Located in West London, White City Living is part of the White City £8 billion regeneration of which 40% has been complete.

This opportunity area has since created over 20,000 jobs across the past 5 years, building a community of a diverse mix of businesses to the expanding London capital.

White City is now home to tech, entertainment, education, culture and commerce industries, with prestigious neighbours:

  • Television Centre - Home to home to Publicis Media, PVH Corp. (Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger), as well as BBC Studios, with a £500m second phase due for completion in 2026.
  • White City Place - A collection of six commercial buildings dedicated to Creative Media & Publication (MediaWorks and WestWorks), the BBC and ITV's offices can be found here, as well as Net-a-Porter, L'Oréal, MapleTree and many others.
  • New Imperial College White City campus - Consistently being ranked as one of the world's best universities, the new 23-acres, £3bn White City Campus, will host post graduate programs and providing new infrastructure for research, academics and businesses to develop in areas of quantum engineering, clean energy, machine learning and medicine. The campus also houses Scale Space, the UK's first-ever community created specifically to help innovative companies accelerate growth, with over 200,000sqft of flexible workspaces for businesses and scale ups.
  • Royal College of Art - The only entirely postgraduate art and design university in the UK with students from over 60 countries
  • Westfield London - Europe's largest mall with over 300 stores (including a Luxury Village of the world's finest brands), 60 restaurants & bars, and 20 cinema screens with 2.6m sq ft of retail space and further phase 3 expansion
  • White City Living - A brand new lifestyle residential development at the heart of the regeneration providing 8 acres of green space.

ITV moved all 2,000 of their London-based staff from Holborn to White City Place in May 2022, with Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger moving in shortly after in June. Growing biotech company Avacta Therapeutics HQ also moved in to the White City Innovation District recently in October.

These companies join the likes of Airbus, Orca Computing and Publicis Group, amongst over 100 organizations in breakthrough industries, innovative public services and ground-breaking scientific research to form the White City Innovation District community.

For investors, entry price starts from £615,000 and for those considering a second home in London, 2 bed 2 bath apartments starts from £985,000. Malaysian investors now have an opportunity to invest in White City Living which is next door to one of the UK's Top 10 Universities - Imperial College London, to earn rental income in GBP and capital growth when the regeneration fully develops.

Strong rental demand from executives and mature students, yielding around 4% . Easy to own a unit with 20% staged payment across 12 months with 80% balance payable at completion in Q1 2024.

London has always been a popular choice for international students and talents. Rents remain vibrant in the city due to strong demand. With the new graduates' visa, students can stay on for a further 2 years after graduation to look for employment, whilst London looks to retain talent, it has also created a shortage of homes to live in as they remain in the city.

Our offices across London have reported extremely high tenancy renewal rates at over 80%, therefore making London properties one of the most resilient investment you can invest in.
