No.1 Grosvenor Square

The residences

BrandThe name licensed to this project and carried on the building. A brand is not a company: it holds no title, builds nothing and runs nothing.

Saint Amand

Brand typeThe business the brand comes from — hotel, fashion, design, automotive, restaurant, club, or a developer’s own name.

Independent / Developer brand

ResidencesHow many separately titled homes this project sells, counting every kind it sells. Where it sells more than one kind, each is named and its own count given.

44reportedForty-four units on the building database, given as 39 apartments and 5 duplexes. The same figure appears in trade coverage of the last apartment released.

Residence typesThe kinds of home offered — villas, condos, penthouses, lots — and how they break down. Not how many, and not what interest is sold.

What you buyThe interest a buyer takes: whole ownership, a share of one residence, or a right to use it.

Whole ownership

SettingWhether a hotel shares the site, the building is mixed-use, or it is residences only.

Residences only, no hotel

PriceThe published asking range or entry price.

GBP 21.5MreportedAsking price on the listing for the last residence brought to the market, a three-bedroom of 4,405 sq ft. This is a single asking price rather than a range for the scheme.

AnnouncedWhen the project was first made public.

No opened page states when the residences were first made public. The building database records the acquisition of the building announced in November 2013 and consent to convert the offices to apartments in November 2014, which are transaction and consent dates rather than an announcement.

Sales openedWhen its residences were first released for sale.

No opened page states when the residences were first released for sale. Trade coverage records the last apartment brought to the market without giving the first.

Construction startedWhen ground was broken on the site.

No opened page states when construction began. The building database records the scheme topping out in October 2018.

HandoverWhen the residences were handed over to buyers.

Dec 2020reportedThe building database gives completion in December 2020.

Who is behind it

Behind the brandThe company that runs properties under this project’s brand and sets the standards carried under it. It need not own the name — who owns it is the brand licensor.

Saint Amand

Holds title toA party that still holds title to a named part of this scheme — a retained podium, a co-located hotel. Most branded residences have none: the homes belong to the people who bought them.

Lodha UKreportedThe building database records the acquisition of Macdonald House by the developer in November 2013. No opened page names a separate freeholder, and no opened page places the building on the Grosvenor estate.Since November 2013acquired Macdonald House in November 2013
