Totalling 5.5 acres, the development will see the transformation of the site previously occupied by the King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, along with properties at 1-7 Queen’s Terrace, into a super prime residential development in central London.

The development comprises a total of 179 new homes, including 11 townhouses, 109 private and 59 affordable apartments, spread across nine buildings ranging in height from three to six storeys. The works also include the sensitive restoration of the Grade II listed Riding School building, preserving the heritage of the site.

As a result, completion of the shell and core stage of construction is scheduled for December 2026, with the fit-out element to complete by December 2028. St John’s Wood Square Development Limited is targeting WELL Platinum and BREEAM Excellent certification for the shell and core construction.
