Pontoon Reach is nestled in the centre of the Royal Docks, a dynamic waterfront area in the London Borough of Newham neighbouring the bustling district of Canary Wharf. The thriving community of the Royal Docks enjoys a wide array of riverside restaurants and bars, accompanied by beautiful gardens and numerous cycle paths. Furthermore, within walking distance of the new complex, ExCeL London hosts myriads of huge exhibitions and trade shows every year. To explore the area from above, Emirates Royal Docks offers you a cable car ride over the Thames to admire bird’s-eye views of Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks.
A 5-minute walk away, Thames Barrier Park provides a leafy retreat from the bustling streets of the megapolis. Known for its unique planting and dancing water fountains, the riverside park also includes charming gardens and wildflower meadows to amble around. Additionally, sports enthusiasts will be delighted to find a 5-a-side football and basketball pitch, while children are welcomed to explore the park’s play area.
Well-connected to the rest of the city, the neighbourhood offers a wealth of transport links. Within strolling distance of the new complex is the Pontoon Dock DLR station, which helps reach the City and Canary Wharf without any hassle. Moreover, London City Airport is just a 2-minute ride away. For those who prefer going on foot, it takes 12 minutes to arrive at the airport.
The high-rise development envelops a beautifully landscaped courtyard garden. Creating a cosy village-like atmosphere, the façade sports traditional light-coloured brickwork. As a modern touch to the exterior, the top level stands out with some grey panelling, adding a stylish warehouse-like vibe. In addition, the new complex is generously peppered with cantilevered balconies, accentuated by dark straight-line railings. Flooding the living areas in an abundance of natural light, the myriads of floor-to-ceiling windows adorn Pontoon Reach.
The new residential complex provides a wealth of green spaces to explore for those who are tired of the buzzing streets of the city. The centrepiece of Pontoon Reach is a courtyard garden, shielded from prying eyes by the development’s walls. Residents are welcomed to roam about the space and enjoy its lush greenery. Furthermore, the rooftop is home to a beautiful terrace, which offers a charming garden overlooking the Thames. To ensure that all homeowners feel welcomed, the new complex comes with a concierge.
Pontoon Reach offers a contemporary collection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. Each home comes with either a balcony or a terrace to ensure that all residents have some private outdoor space to relax and unwind while enjoying picturesque views of the nearby waterways. The interior-designed kitchens feature matt-finished units, laminate worktops, and an array of top-notch appliances, including an oven, a ceramic hob, a dishwasher, a fridge/freezer, and a washer/dryer. Additionally, all bathrooms are fitted with a white bath, accentuated by a timber-effect bath panel, while the en-suites come with a white shower tray.
