Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For more than 30 years it has lain abandoned and derelict on the south bank of the River Thames, but Battersea Power Station is about to be reborn as a luxury residence – with towering asking prices to match its vast white chimneys.
Studio apartments will be available for £800,000 and four-bedroom homes for £4 million, according to designs released by developers today ahead of a “London-only” sales launch on 1 May.
Now owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors, the 39-acre site is being completely revamped to include a six-acre public park, office space for 5,000 people, 200 shops and restaurants and 254 homes - many with their own private outdoor space.
The homes fall into two styles across three different locations of the landmark building: The Switch House East, The Switch House West, and Boiler House Square.
Boiler House Square will be on top of the tall, central Boiler House between the chimneys with two new storeys built around an open, landscaped garden square with a central skylight, while Switch House East and West will lie on the longer, lateral flanks of the power station.
