Following on from my Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea update blog and the more detailed look at the first scheme to come through; Riverlight, here's another more in depth look at the next of those major schemes that will be coming forward; Embassy Gardens.
Enabling works across the site look to be under way in conjunction with the US Embassy, which this site will wrap around. As previously noted, infrastructure and specifically the Northern Line extension will be a big factor in the successful outcome of the whole area, which isn't a definite as yet. However, Ballymore and Embassy Gardens will arguably benefit from the security of knowing the US Embassy will be built. No ifs, no buts, the Embassy will be built and it will open on the 4th of July, 2017. Here you can see below a lot of construction taking place, with site preparation and utility works well under way. Expect a Q1 2013 construction start.
Here's a model of part of the development to the south of the new embassy and Ponton Road. Architects pointed out (not that they really needed too) that the design takes its inspiration much from the US and in particular New York's meatpacking district.

and the lifestyle you will be buying in to. Did I mention New York?
