Embassy Gardens is at the heart of Nine Elms, the central London riverside neighbourhood whose revitalisation, masterplanned by Sir Terry Farrell, has been described by the former Mayor of London as ‘possibly the most important regeneration story in London and in the UK over the next 20 years’.
Embassy Gardens is at the heart of Nine Elms, the central London riverside neighbourhood whose revitalisation, masterplanned by Sir Terry Farrell, has been described by the former Mayor of London as ‘possibly the most important regeneration story in London and in the UK over the next 20 years’. The architectural style is distinctive, with apartments standing among landscaped public squares, parks and spectacular gardens. Amenities of the highest standard include the private Eg: le club with its own library and gym, the world-famous Sky Pool, as well as a spa, cinema and business facilities.
With the relocation of the US Embassy to the area, directly across the river from Pimlico, and the nearby regeneration of Battersea Power Station, Embassy Gardens is the centrepiece of the last great new district in the centre of London. It set record sales values during phase one, and the second phase is set to deliver even further value growth. The project as a whole will include 1,555 new homes and over 40,000 sq m of office and flexible workspace spread over eight building plots rising up to 23 storeys in height. One Embassy Gardens, a 215,000 sq ft office building completed in 2019, was designed by Lee Polisano of PLP Architects. It has exceptional commercial space over 10 floors and a unique west facing roof terrace and winter gardens with spectacular views over the River Thames and central London. Tenants include Penguin Random House UK and Dorling Kindersley.
The Capston at Embassy Gardens is a landmark residential development for Ballymore, comprising two high-rise residential towers connected by a shared pavilion. The scheme will deliver 247 high-quality homes, including a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, together with premium penthouse residences, forming a key addition to the prestigious Embassy Gardens masterplan in Nine Elms, London.
EDC was appointed to deliver the Mechanical, Electrical and Public Health (MEP) design from RIBA Stage 2 through to construction, providing fully coordinated and buildable engineering solutions that support the project's architectural vision and operational performance. Working collaboratively with the wider design team, we continue to develop the scheme through detailed design and construction.
Our integrated Energy & Sustainability team is delivering a comprehensive package of consultancy services, including SBEM energy modelling, SAP assessments, TM59 overheating analysis, Energy Strategy development and BREEAM consultancy, ensuring the development achieves high standards of energy performance, occupant comfort and regulatory compliance.
A significant project milestone was achieved with Building Safety Regulator (BSR) approval in December 2025, enabling the project to progress into the next phase of delivery and reinforcing the collaborative efforts of the entire project team.
