McLaren races to One Hyde Park

    McLaren Automotive and Jardine Motors Group have agreed to open a McLaren showroom on the ground floor of luxury residential development One Hyde Park.       McLaren London will move into the showroom in early 2011 in preparation for the spring 2011 launch of the McLaren MP4-12C, the first in McLaren Automotive’s new range of high-performance sports cars.       Christian Marti, McLaren Automotive’s European regional director, said: “One Hyde Park has already established itself as a landmark location in London, and we are both proud and excited to be part of its future success.       “The McLaren London showroom at One Hyde Park will represent everything we strive for at McLaren: great attention to detail, form and function in its visual impact and atmosphere, and a focus on the customers’ requirements.”   Richard Williams, on behalf of Project Grande, the owner of One Hyde Park, added : “We are delighted to welcome Jardine Motors Group and McLaren Automotive to One Hyde Park.   “The McLaren brand is an exciting and befitting addition to the development and will be the only motor brand available at One Hyde Park. We are in discussion with other leading luxury brands regarding the two remaining units.   “With more than £100m of apartments sold at the development since we launched the second phase of sales in April 2010 and with presales now totalling more than £870m , it is clear that the development is doing well and we are pleased to announce that it will be completed in late October 2010”.   One Hyde Park consists of 86 flats and three shops. Candy & Candy is development manager and interior designer of the project.   samantha.mcclary@estatesgazette.com   To access all EGi news stories and commercial property data sign up for a free trial today, or visit the subscription options page to find out more.
