What are the architectural features of Portobello Square?

Portobello Square is a massive development placed along Wornington Road and Portobello Road with a public park in the middle. Divided into three phases, the project features several blocks of mid-rise buildings. Already completed, Phase 1 occupies the territory to the east of the park, while Phase 2 takes the opposite side, and the future third phase is to be placed at the pointy corner of Wornington Road and Portobello Road.

The first of four apartment buildings that are part of Phase 2, Bond Mansions rises across Wornington Road from the park. The contemporary-style façade of the 7-storey building features bleached brickwork and an array of Juliet balconies that add some old charm to the new build.

What is inside?

All residents of Portobello Square benefit from a public park space, set at the heart of the new development. The community green offers 2.3 acres of ground densely planted with various types of greenery, creating a perfect setting for an evening walk.

The building features an interior-designed entrance lobby, providing a warm welcome to everyone. In addition, Portobello Square includes a bicycle store.

To ensure top-notch security, the complex is equipped with video entrance phones and a Nest Protect smart alarm system.
