Putney has seen an upsurge in development over the past few years, with an increasing number of young professionals moving into the area driving the demand.
There are currently over 1,100 private new homes expected to be delivered over the next five years in Putney, ranging from modern towers overlooking the Thames (Riverside Quarter), luxury apartments near the High Street (Oakhill Park) and superbly appointed family houses opposite Putney Heath (Westmead).
Over 70% of schemes in the planning pipeline comprise less than 100 private units and the majority of the current development is centred around Upper Richmond Road and alongside the Thames. Specifically, there are a number of developments concentrated around Putney overground station and East Putney tube station.
However, new build development is also taking place in the south of Putney towards the Southfields border, where Lendlease are selling a 110 private unit scheme of mews, townhouses and apartments with public gardens.
A number of new schemes in Putney are replacing post-war office blocks including Tileman House by Crest Nicholson, and iconic Putney Plaza by Art Estates. The nearly completed London Square development has helped mitigate some of the loss of commercial space by providing office and retail premises alongside the residential.
