The Project

The Rafael Vinoly designed mixed-use master plan comprised a careful blend of residential, offices, shops, leisure and hospitality. The iconic Battersea Power Station, a Grade II* listed building, has formed the central focus of the plans and has been carefully restored with public accessibility at its core.

The 39-acre site overlooks over 400m of London’s famous South Bank, less than a mile and a half from the House of Parliament. It is directly opposite Chelsea and forms the cornerstone of London’s last significant regeneration area, the Nine Elms.

Battersea Power Station Development Company is owned by a Malaysian consortium of investors comprising S P Setia, Sime Darby Berhad and the Employees Provident Fund. The development management of the project is being undertaken by British-based management company, Battersea Power Station Development Company.

"Macdonald & Company has provided an invaluable service in our quest to search for and select the very best team to meet the challenge of Battersea Power Station. Their advice, patience, connections and results have to date been exemplary."
