Linden Homes is putting in £90m alongside £10m from Lookers Volkswagen Battersea to build new apartments at 98 York Road.

The Podium development will also contain a new Lookers showroom which will occupy the ground three floors of the 20-storey building.

Construction is scheduled to start towards the end of this year.

Claire Gibbins, Sales and Marketing Director at Linden Homes South East, said: “Battersea is undergoing a huge transformation and is going to be a great place to live.

“As well as new homes, the area is going to benefit from new parks, leisure and cultural spaces plus extensions to the transport network including the Northern Line extension, which is due to complete in 2020.”
