A new kind of rental residence

In the heart of one of London’s most renowned locations, a new era of luxury living is taking shape. Knightsbridge Gardens, the UK’s first super-prime rental residences development, is redefining the concept of high-end urban living. The 33 homes are the latest addition to the newly revamped Knightsbridge estate, a clutch of buildings within 3.5 acres and located between two Knightsbridge icons, Harrods and Harvey Nichols. 

The site, which dates to the 1800s, has been developed by The Olayan Group, who have already rejuvenated the Estate’s once muddled run of retail spaces into a high-end shopping district befitting its location. Stroll down Brompton Road today, and you’ll find a palatial Apple store, Burberry’s London flagship, and the first outpost of the beloved LA sunglasses brand, DITA.

Helmed by London architect firm Fletcher Priest, homes at Knightsbridge Gardens are sleek, turn-key residences, meticulously designed for modern city living. Yet, great care has been taken to preserve its historical charm, from carefully restoring the buildings to retaining 75 per cent of its original façade. 

Inside, the one- to four-bedroom residences cater to a range of preferences, each inspired by one of four design concepts reflective of the estate’s rich history: Tailored, Eclectic, Modernist and Crafted. 

The interiors are masterful, crafted by Taylor Howes, who have taken inspiration from the Edwardian Belle Epoque era’s elegant lines and fine craftsmanship and seamlessly interwoven thoughtful, modern luxuries.

The amenities are nothing short of world-class. Like other prime developments in The Olayan Group’s portfolio, including the Mandarin Oriental Ritz Hotel in Madrid and New York’s 550 Madison, residents of Knightsbridge Gardens can expect a five-star, hotel-standard concierge service, courtesy of leading provider Rhodium. 

True to its name, the most striking aspect of Knightsbridge Gardens is its sense of tranquillity. Beyond the soothing palette of green accents across the development, the Orangery and central courtyard garden serve as a secluded oasis, shielded from the buzz of the city. For more open green space, Hyde Park is just a few minutes’ walk away.

Knightsbridge Gardens arrives at a time when super-prime lettings are surging. With a two-year minimum lease requirement, this ‘lights-on’ development caters to a diverse range of tenants, from young families to established professionals seeking an exceptional rental experience. 

Arya Salari, Head of Lettings in Knight Frank’s Knightsbridge office, says high-net- worth clients are attracted by the “flexibility and freedom” these prime rentals offer. “Plus, it provides flexibility to relocate whenever it suits them, a factor that has become incredibly important to globally mobile HNW individuals.” 

In an era where renting offers freedom, flexibility and a hassle-free lifestyle, Knightsbridge Gardens embodies London’s super-prime rental market aspirations.

Apartments available to let from £1,250 per week. See knightsbridgegardens.com for more information, or to make an enquiry email arya.salari@knightfrank.com.
