Fabrica reviews

“The City Wharf development by Fabrica, designed by Stephen Marshall Architects sits in a district that is becoming increasingly popular with buyers and investors who are looking to claim a slice of this vibrant N1 postcode. City Wharf is located between City Road Basin and Wenlock Road Basin, alongside Regents Canal. There are 327 waterside apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom homes with panoramic canal and city views from private balconies, roof terraces and landscaped courtyard gardens. For such a centrally located building, there’s plenty of outside space available which will appeal to families in particular. The architecture of the development was thoughtfully designed to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding cityscape. There’s a real sense of urban cool to City Wharf, which will attract the creative and tech crowd who work in the area. The average price per square foot in N1 is GBP734, and these apartments run a little over that at around GBP1,131.” HomeViews Property Pro, City Wharf

Stunning Place to Live

Amazing new lifestyle. Was a bit hesitant to move as i was previously living and enjoying a beautiful park within Kensington (w8). Now I’m so pleasantly surprised by how stunning, calming and yet lively the river life is. Although being very convenient to transport, you don’t feel like you’re in the city bustle. The magic of the Hammersmith Bridge, river wildlife, existing new cafes and upcoming restaurants/ cinema/Riverside Studios makes this a unique living experience…one that i’m so happy to be part of. The Queen’s Wharf building itself has a magnificent rooftop terrace open to all tenants. Each apartment is unique with excellent finishings. There’s an excellent Concierge service 24/7 which is very convenient for residents. With all the new developments on this side of the river, this neighborhoud is becoming a very desirable place to live.

Very modern and eco friendly build with eco credentials everywhere you look.

We love the design of the spaces, the homes, the greenery and buildings within the estate. Very modern and eco friendly build with eco credentials everywhere you look.

The management however has a lot of work to do to improve their image and services. It sometimes takes weeks before you get a reply from the estate manager. The property management tends to send letters that aren’t relevant to all property owners which causes a lot of confusion.

The service charges are ridiculously high and goes up every year. A recent increase is at over 30%. This is not sustainable. We would be paying more service charge than mortgage soon!

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

What shops/restaurants/bars? There are none on the estate when we were promised they would be built by 2019.

Parking seems to be an issue in phase 1 where there are too many apartments with too few allocated parking spaces. Parking in phase 2 and further is much better with 2 allocated spaces per house.

It’s really nice to have allotments and raised beds nicely designed and close to the houses but the fencing was recently stolen despite security bolts holding them down. Some cars have also been broken into in the previous years and walls vandalised so security could be improved.

There is a bus that goes through the estate with a very friendly driver. It might be better if people could pay with a card or something convenient instead of the only and very antiquated way of cash/coins to driver to purchase a physical ticket. That might encourage more people to take the bus.

Most drivers slow down in the estate but some drive recklessly past the school and where kids are playing. We need more road safety signage. There should be a priority for cyclists all along the roads in the estate and clear signs to let drivers know that this is an eco estate. We prefer bikes and walking to cars and speeding.

The 1st play park was beautifully designed but not with children in mind so it ended up being huge and great to look at but nearly useless for kids who are surely the most important park customers. The later parks had more sense and incorporated familiar elements such as slides and swings which are now the kids’ favourites’

One commendable element is the design of green spaces, wide walkways and wheelchair friendly accessible areas throughout the estate. Much more so than any other new build estates we have seen and we’ve seen a lot in many parts of the country. The challenge however is to stop drivers from parking their cars illegally on drop curbs, roadsides and pedestrian pathways, blocking the intended wheelchair access!

Despite being mis-sold on the savings we’ll make living on an eco estate, which is next to nothing (higher heating bills, ever increasing service charges), the best part of this estate is the incredible community. Everyone you meet here is very friendly, genuine and more than you can ask for in a neighbour.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

The ever rising service charge and the fact that there isn’t really any savings on heating bills.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They managed to resolve all snagging issues, some several times over until it was fully satisfactory so no complaints there.

Excellent Development.. you won’t regret it.

Keybridge is an incredible development and property. It’s well situated from a transportation perspective and very easy to get in and out of central London. There are a few supermarket options nearby but not too many great restaurants around.

The development is well maintained and boasts high quality furniture and fittings. The concierge team is excellent and very friendly and accommodating.

Maintenance could be slightly better as it typically takes a while for the team to respond to requests.
The facilities are second to none with a beautiful gym and swimming pool.
Overall highly rate the unit, and will likely continue to live here so long as I’m in London.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Very close to transport links and easy to get into central London. Well situated close to a few parks. Not too many stores and restaurants around.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

That the pool wouldn’t be ready for a while. This is no longer an issue as the pool is ready now.

What is the best feature of your home:

The outdoor space which feels like a private patio.

A lovely and special development to live in!

The neighbours are lovely and friendly. There is a sense of a community, various hobbies and clubs to be a part of. A cafe, board games night, gardening club, knitting club, and more! The homes have been made to the highest standard. Its triple glazing and innovative features have amazed us. The ecological aspect is very important to us, so it ticks all the boxes. The only downside is the potential of new housing developments being built nearby, in the near future, that are not eco-friendly in design.

Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:

Bin collection is 9/10, the cafe in the Business Centre is family-run and a great meeting point on Friday mornings. It’s peaceful with no traffic noise thanks to the triple glazing and it’s relatively rural area. Many houses have cameras installed and we have a group chat where we can share any anti-social behaviour in order to nip it in the bud.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

There should be cameras in the glass recycling area as (although rare) it has been used as a place to dump random things which need to be taken to a tip. I also wish it had a pub which served organic dishes. Due to variously reasons, there has been a delay in completing other parts of the development. I hope it is finished soon.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

They were prompt about a couple of minor snags, such as a replacing a screw in one of the faucets which had oxidised. Everything works perfectly. The house is well-insulated, it keeps the heat in, when it’s cold,m; and the house is cool in the hot Summer, provided the blinds are used at the right times, of course.
