中文 The London property market has been an investment hotspot because of its booming population and enhanced infrastructure under a number of redevelopment plans. West Ham is no exception, attracting buyers and tenants with its natural beauty and rising investment potential. Rapid regeneration The regeneration of West Ham has begun with a disused brownfield site. In 2020, the regeneration came into public’s attention when the award-winning developer Berkeley has set out ambitious sustainability goals for the construction process – to transformed disused industrial land into a 3,838-home development called TwelveTrees Park. There are also plans for commercial, education and entertainment facilities on the 26 acres of brownfield. RokhsanaFiaz, mayor of Newham, claimed the development was key to the regeneration of West Ham. Unlike developments that focus primarily on commercial values, TwelveTrees Park cleverly blends greenery and technology into resident’s city living to fulfil to the “connectedness” concept. More than half of the area has been preserved as a landscaped park and green open space, bringing the outdoors to life and rejuvenating residents with amazing natural scenery. WiFi is available in the 4.5-acre park to ensure friends and families are well connected when enjoying a picnic. Everything about TwelveTrees Park is dedicated to the connectedness and well being of residents. With buzzing cafés, bars and restaurants, and the community building hub at the centre, there is always something to do and a place to meet. The new Science School, which focuses on STEM education and caters for up to 1,000 students,offers after-hours events and excellent classes for everyone, while the community hub is the gathering point for a huge range of activities. One of the best-connected districts in London Although West Ham is nature-bounded, it is not an isolated island. It is one of the best-connected districts in London, with two CBDs–the City of London and Canary Wharf –just minutes away from the West Ham Station. As a major interchange connecting five nearby rail and tube lines, West Ham is well-connected to the rest of London and beyond, making getting to and from work and leisure activities simple and convenient. It takes only seven minutes to get from West Ham Station to Canary Wharf, 18 minutes to Liverpool Street Station, and 25 minutes to King’s Cross St Pancras Station. And it’s just a 10-minute ride from the DLR at West Ham Station to London City Airport, providing unrivalled connections from doorstep to destination.
