London apartments win Urban Land Institute award

Ridgeford Properties, the renowned London-based property company and Manhattan Loft Corporation won the ULI Global Award for Excellence at the prestigious 2012 Urban Land Institute Awards in Denver, Colorado.

Fitzrovia Apartments, an innovative project by Ridgeford Properties and Manhattan Loft Corporation, was selected as a winner from 29 global finalists displaying a broad mix of exemplary projects.

The ULI Global Award for Excellence honour the highest standards of achievement in the development community that go beyond good design. Many factors including leadership, contribution to the community and environmental protection are qualities deemed important by ULI when selecting winners of its award.

Located in the highly desirable W1 postcode and one of Ridgeford’s many award-winning schemes, the Fitzrovia Apartments development raises the bar for property excellence and reinforces the allure of Marylebone and Fitzrovia villages.

Working alongside the world’s best designers and architects, including HOK International, Fitzrovia Apartments showcases immaculate detail and design. Striking features include a glazed reception area with double height ceilings that opens onto a courtyard with stunning landscaped gardens, providing tranquillity for residents away from the busy London streets.

The development comprises 70 apartments, the majority of which have already been sold, with 4 state of the art penthouses coming onto the market late 2012.

Chris Murray, Managing Director of Ridgeford Properties Ltd, said: “It’s fantastic that Ridgeford Properties has been chosen as the winner of this global property award. We are extremely proud of Fitzrovia Apartments. The development demonstrates our ability to plan and execute innovative projects that outshine the international competition.”

Harry Handelsman, CEO of Manhattan Loft Corporation, said: “Fitzrovia Apartments challenges conventions with its contemporary architecture and that the judges have recognised this is testimony to the combined achievements of Ridgeford and Manhattan Loft Corporation. With Fitzrovia Apartments we have helped to rediscover an area of London which looks set to become one of the capital’s top neighbourhoods.”

The Fitzrovia Apartments development will be completed in December 2012.
