Mount Anvil was chosen after a process that included feedback from a community liaison group.
The site is towards the south-western corner of the borough, overlooking Chelsea Creek and Lots Road Power Station, and currently houses the Lots Road Auction House and some council services.
The area is famous for its antiques, art firms, auction houses, design and interior design and is identified as an employment zone in the council’s draft New Local Plan, due to be finalised later this year.
The employment zone will provide mixed uses, with improved and additional workspaces and facilities for small and medium-sized businesses with a focus on art, architecture, antiques and interior design.
Kim Taylor-Smith, deputy leader of the council, said: “The Lots Road South project is a significant and exciting opportunity to create yet another amazing space in the borough.
“To ensure that specialist experience, expertise and funding is in place to deliver the scheme, we have appointed a development partner to work with the local community and council, as the landowner, to deliver a project that will bring a host of enhancements to the area.”
Killian Hurley, chief executive at Mount Anvil, added: “We work only in London and only in partnership with people who care about the long-term, like Kensington and Chelsea and the other boroughs that have welcomed us. It’s a privilege to be continuing to listen to and learn from the local community as we deliver quality extra care affordable homes and vibrant community and commercial space.”
