Today marks a huge milestone for the Wallacea Living team as we celebrate the ‘topping out’ of our 16-storey building at West End Gate, getting us one step closer to welcoming our first homeowners.
Not for the faint hearted, the project team climbed to the roof of the building, where they witnessed the final brick being laid and came together to celebrate the hard work of all those involved in the project to date.
Not only was today significant for Wallacea Living, but also for the wider retirement living sector, as it will be London’s most centrally located Independent Retirement Community, providing an exciting opportunity for homeowners to enjoy the time of their later life within the hustle and bustle of one of Europe’s most exciting capital cities.
Nestled between Little Venice and Paddington Basin, Wallacea Living Marylebone will deliver 104 luxury apartments, as well as a host of on-site amenities, designed to support the over 65s to live independently for as long as possible, by placing proactive wellbeing at the heart of its offering.
Our debut community is located within Berkeley’s West End Gate development, which will deliver 831 high quality homes when complete, in addition to a public piazza, public artworks and 15,000 sq ft commercial space for restaurants and shops.
Paul Morgan, Chief Executive at Wallacea Living, said: “This is an exciting milestone for Wallacea Living as we celebrate the completion of the external structure of what will be our first IRC. It is our belief that your retirement years can be your best years and at Wallacea Living Marylebone, we’re creating a community where this is possible.
“Due to a lack of quality options, the current trend is for the over 65s to move out of London when they look to downsize. At Wallacea Living Marylebone, we’re offering a fresh approach to what retirement living in London can look like. Homeowners will be encouraged to maintain an independent lifestyle and continue to enjoy everything that our capital city has to offer, knowing that they have a hassle-free, luxurious home to return to.”
We’re hoping to welcome our first homeowners in spring 2026, all of whom will benefit from our 24-7 in-house hospitality and care teams, regular health MOTs and a GP booking portal. All homeowners will have access to the on-site restaurant, swimming pool, spa and salon, private cinema and library bar, alongside regular events and classes.
We’ve recently opened the doors to our Showsuite and show apartment, giving potential customers just a flavour of the lifestyle they could expect. Prices for a new apartment start from £935,000. Give us a call on 020 3960 1000 to book an appointment and have a look around.
