Straddling the border of the London Boroughs of Barnet and Brent, 399 is located in the heart of Colindale, dwelling by the main shopping street of the district. Perched at the corner of Grove Park and Edgware Road, the new complex neighbours with huge shops and supermarkets.
Apart from great retail facilities, 399 benefits from the nearby green spaces that provide a calm sanctuary from the buzzing streets. You can take a brookside walk along Silk Stream to reach Montrose Park that offers a multi-use studio, a play area, table tennis tables, a parkour area, a skate park, an outdoor gym, and a basketball court. Further down the stream is Silkstream Park with a lovely playground and stunning greenery that complements the charming brook.
The area is well-connected to the city centre and beyond. Both the Northern and Jubilee Underground lines are within easy reach as the Colindale and Kingsbury stations are located just a short walk away from the development. In addition, the M1 route connects Colindale to London Luton Airport as well as North Circular Road, Northampton, Leicester, and even Leeds.
399 is spread across five apartment blocks that occupy the space between Airco Close, Grove Park, and Edgware Road, as well as a series of townhouses placed in Oriental Square. Ranging from mid- to high-rise, the apartment buildings feature traditional brick façades in neutral tones, including various shades of grey, sandy, and brown. The exterior is peppered with large full-height windows and spacious balconies adorned with either simple dark metal railings or sleek glass balustrades.
The new residential complex is placed on immaculately-landscaped grounds that feature plenty of greenery, well-suited for tranquil walks around the premises.
Residents of 399 that own cars can have peace of mind as the complex is equipped with secure private parking spaces. In addition, all corridors are covered with security cameras, and the units are equipped with a video entry system.
399 offers a premium collection of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments as well as dual- and single-aspect townhouses.
All kitchens feature Benchmarx units with a dove grey finish, Silestone worktops, and top-notch appliances, including an integrated Neue fridge/freezer, a Zanussi dishwasher, an AEG double oven, and an electric induction hob.
Meanwhile, the bathrooms benefit from Roca sanitaryware, a fixed shower head with a handheld set, and a glass screen. The area is partially tiled with porcelain units.
399 is a project of U+I, a property development company established in 2014 by the merger of Development Securities and Cathedral Group. The company is focused on regeneration projects, striving to revive neglected areas and create vibrant communities throughout the British Isles. With a vast portfolio under its belt, U+I aims to challenge the status quo by implementing bold designs, innovative ideas, and unconventional decisions.
