Capella, the new elegant landmark located on Lewis Cubitt Park, the largest green space in London’s King’s Cross, will bring 120 private and 56 social rented apartments to market, setting a new benchmark for quality urban living.

As the concluding residential development within the 67-acre regeneration masterplan, Capella marks a significant milestone for King’s Cross and the last private residences available to purchase. A combination of spacious studio, one, two and three bedroom residences and townhouses offer the final opportunity for purchasers to buy a private home in one of Europe’s most stylish neighbourhoods.

Green and Spacious Living
Drawing inspiration from the green environment that surrounds it, a seamless journey from the park and into the home is achieved at Capella. Conceived by London architecture practice and masterplanners for King’s Cross, Allies and Morrison, the collection of residences have been orientated towards Lewis Cubitt Park, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces, to purposely make the most of the unobstructed views.

With interior design led by award-winning studio Johnson Naylor, Capella provides residents with adaptable living spaces that bring the outside in. Apartments are flooded with natural light that stream over earthy palettes, greenery, and natural tactile finishes. The on-site amenities ensure residents have room to make the most of every moment and are equally warm and characterful in their aesthetic. A landscaped roof terrace overlooking King’s Cross provides a serene urban oasis for residents to enjoy. An elegantly furnished residents’ lounge offers a selection of relaxed seating, alongside both collaborative and private working areas. Further spaces include a quiet cinema zone, games area and bookable dining room that overlooks the urban courtyard, providing a dynamic backdrop for home entertaining.

Epitomising urban parkside living, Capella is set within a walkable neighbourhood with an abundance of parks, open spaces and landscaped gardens on the doorstep. King’s Cross, now a carbon neutral neighbourhood, provides every residential building with zero carbon heating via its district energy network, supplied by green gas. With access to 1km of canal side and 26 acres of public space, Capella homeowners will have a closer connection to nature, further enriching and invigorating the experience of living here.

Robert Evans, Joint Managing Partner at Argent LLP and CEO of King’s Cross, said: “The launch of Capella presents our last collection of new homes at King’s Cross and the final opportunity to become part of this extraordinary neighbourhood.
This is a significant milestone in the transformation of King’s Cross. Capella will complete Lewis Cubitt Park, the green centrepiece of a 67-acre masterplan, defined by exceptional public squares, parks and gardens. Residents will have shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, galleries, schools, sport, leisure and community facilities, on their doorstep. The Regent’s Canal, historic Coal Drops and the best-connected transport hub in London, are a short walk away. We believe Capella offers exactly what people want from city living and we look forward to residents making this their new home.”

James Cohen, a Partner in Knight Frank’s New Homes team, said: “The ‘escape to the country’ trend was dominant during lockdown, but we’re now seeing the return of the ‘boomerang buyer’ in London. Demand for property in the city has risen strongly, with the number of new prospective buyers 67% higher compared to the five-year average. Kings Cross continues to be one of the most successful regeneration projects of the last decade and as the final residential chapter, Capella brings an incredible and unparalleled period of regeneration to a close. The area has completely transformed into one of the most sought-after residential districts in London.

Following the hugely successful launch of Cadence in 2020, we’re expecting Capella to follow suit. Potential buyers can expect the same attention to detail in the design of the apartments themselves with an exciting range of amenity spaces on offer. Capella will be the residential launch of the year that everyone is talking about, and Knight Frank is delighted to be bringing this highly-anticipated scheme to the market.”

Welcoming a New Community

King’s Cross is one of Europe’s boldest neighbourhoods, bringing together world-class heritage and architecture, creative energy, thriving businesses, public spaces and a vibrant amenity offering, residents of Capella will have the very best of village life on their doorstep. Coal Drops Yard, the retail and dining heart of King’s Cross, exemplifies the rich-variety offering with global brands such as Paul Smith, COS and Tom Dixon sitting alongside world-class restaurants such as Barrafina, Dishoom, Porte Noire, Bao, and more.

Capella is ideally placed for transport links within the capital and beyond. King’s Cross links six underground lines and boasts two mainline stations, including St Pancras International, home to the Eurostar and the epicentre of regional travel. Moreover, all five of London’s airports are within an hour.

As London’s most connected district, King’s Cross is now the hub of creative and innovative businesses. The likes of Nike, Sony Music and Universal Music, Meta and Google bring a new community of occupiers and an opportunity for Capella in those that wish to live, work, play in this self-sufficient neighbourhood of the future.
