Royal Mint Gardens by IJM Land

Royal Mint Gardens by IJM Land

A luxury development by IJM Land and marketed by Knight Frank.

It turns out that IJM Land is one of Malaysian's largest property developer, listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange.  We were very interested by this development as it appeared that this was IJM Land's first foray into London.

Location
The location is very promising. It is very close to the City of London.  For my recent site visit, I got off at Tower Hill Tube Station and took a walk towards Royal Mint Street.  It was about 3 minutes walk (ok I walk quite fast, but most Londoners do!)

On Google Maps, this development it is on Royal Mint Street (which is a very short street), and right next to Tower Hill Docklands Light Rail (DLR) station.

A short video I took of the location back in Oct 2013. It was a rainy day. You can see the plot of land and how close it is to the DLR station.



High Price?
Well, you can't fault developers for trying to make good profits.  In terms of price, we felt that this development was priced rather aggressively (800 to 1,000 psf).  However, now that I have physically been on site, I don't think that the pricing is unreasonable.  In terms of potential capital appreciation and rental potential, this development is very strong in this respect.  Why didn't we buy?  Well, the price tag was a tad too hefty for us.  You can read more about our investment strategies in this post.

You may think that the immediate area looks rather run-down.  To tell the truth, it is.  The issue is whether the area has the potential and whether there are more investments coming in here.  The answer to both question is yes and yes! There are many exciting developments coming up in this vicinity.  Why?  Location-wise, it can't be beaten.  It is right at the door-step of the City of London.

The Royal Mint Development would definitely help transform this entire area.  I certainly look forward to Royal Mint completing in 2017!

By the way, this development is also very near the Broadgate Complex that GIC has invested in.

  3. There is no work starting at Royal Mint Gardens yet (26/10/15)! I would be very surprised if there is a completed development by 2017 as the developers suggest.

  16. I hope that one day I can make it to the West Coast and also tour Victoria, BC. It would be a wonderful trip and memorable adventure to me as I am originally from the states and have life in Ontario for just 13 yrs now. My husband is Canadian. I love to travel and see new sites and this is one of my places I’d love to visit. I have gotten to a few spots here in Ontario but would love to go on a longer adventure even by train would be amazing. Coming by train would be interesting.

  33. Definitely agree with the first tip because you have to make sure your home is ready before you list it in the market. Improvements are really important and staging as well will help in getting the best possible price when selling your home. After the improvements, it is also good to get a professional photographer to take photos of your home that will highlight the areas of your home and help to attract potential buyers.

  53. One of the key drivers of the real estate market is location. The old adage "location, location, location" holds true as properties situated in desirable areas often command higher prices and generate more significant returns on investment. Proximity to schools, shopping centers, public transportation, and other amenities can significantly impact a property's value. In contrast, properties in less accessible or less attractive locations may struggle to attract buyers or tenants.real estate team

  57. Commercial real estate, on the other hand, acts as the backbone of business operations, dictating the pulse of commerce in both local communities and global metropolises. The negotiation of leases, the development of office spaces, and the strategic positioning of retail outlets all contribute to the intricate dance of supply and demand that defines the commercial real estate landscape. The rise of technology and the increasing prevalence of remote work have introduced new dynamics, altering the traditional calculus of office space utilization and prompting a reevaluation of the very nature of the workplace.Home Value
