Shard Place achieves Practical Completion
The new residential offering at Shard Quarter comprises 176 finely crafted apartments with world-class amenities, exclusively available to rent.
Completing the trilogy of buildings that make up the 2.5 million sq. ft mixed-used Shard Quarter – home to Western Europe’s tallest building, The Shard, and News UK’s headquarters, The News Building – Shard Place sets to welcome its first residents from June.
Designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop, each apartment is flooded with daylight, offering remarkable views of London’s everchanging skyline. Key features include floor to ceiling windows and some apartments benefit from naturally ventilated winter gardens and triple aspect vistas.
Each of the homes, which range in size from studios to three-bedroom apartments, are furnished by multidisciplinary design studio State of Craft. Ranging from 425 sq. ft. to 1,486 sq. ft, with 20 differing layouts, each residence is designed to foster connection to the surrounding outdoor urban landscape. Residents will find themselves living alongside inspiring pieces by world-class artists with over 1,000 artworks throughout the building, individually curated by Richeldis Fine Art.
Redefining lifestyle-led living, Shard Place provides 12,000 sq. ft of luxury amenity spaces, set across three distinct levels. At its zenith, London’s highest outdoor swimming pool is majestically set against the city’s skyline, complete with a landscaped sun deck and changing rooms.
Additional amenities include a 12-seater private dining room and kitchen, available to book with a private chef, a cinema, and state-of-the art wellness suite fully equipped with a gym, private studio, sauna, and steam room. Residents also have use of a double-height orangery and library, opening onto an expansive outdoor terrace with striking views of St Paul’s Cathedral.
Complementing the amenities, additional benefits include 24-hour concierge, security and around the clock on-site maintenance as well as electric vehicle charging, exclusive car club membership and secure bicycle storage. Further services, available on request, include bespoke housekeeping and laundry provisions.
Expertly designed so that it appears to ‘float’ sixteen metres above ground level, Shard Place provides the immediate locale with an additional 13,000 sq. ft. of landscaped public realm – by Dan Pearson Studio – and 9,000 sq. ft. of retail space.
Located in one of the fastest growing, historic neighbourhoods in the capital, where culture and business harmoniously coexist, Shard Place residents will live within walking distance of landmarks such as White Cube, Tate Modern, and the Tower of London as well as some of the city's finest gastronomy, from the vibrant Borough Market to the Michelin-starred excellence of OMA and Trivet.
Prices start at £700 pw and are available to rent via JLL and Knight Frank.
