The Founding at Canada Water Emerges as a prime opportunity for buyers seeking central London living with superb transport connectivity
Bangkok, Thailand – May 6, 2025 – Richmont’s (International) Co. Ltd., a leading real estate marketing and sales company, is once again opening the door for Thai buyers to own a piece of London. Now, a once-in-a-generation opportunity has emerged with The Founding, loft style living in Canada Water, London’s dynamic neighborhood. Blending modern British heritage with cutting-edge sustainability, The Founding is set to redefine urban living while delivering exceptional long-term investment potential.
For years, Thai investors have viewed London as a prime destination for real estate, whether to generate rental income, diversify their assets, or provide a safe and inspiring home for children studying abroad. Now, The Founding represents a bold new mixed-use destination in central London, ideally suited for both lifestyle buyers and yield-driven investors.
Part of British Land’s £4 billion, 53-acre Canada Water Masterplan, The Founding is the first residential release in what is set to become London’s newest town centre, the first in over 100 years. Designed by renowned architects Allies and Morrison, with interiors by Conran and Partners, it offers 186 studios, 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments with stunning views of Canary Wharf, Tower Bridge, and The Shard. Importantly, The Founding is also at the forefront of sustainable living. With a fully electric infrastructure and the use of Earth Friendly Concrete, the development is part of a broader effort to create one of the most sustainable neighborhoods in the UK, an important consideration for Thai buyers increasingly focused on long-term value, ESG factors, and future-proofing their assets.
More than just a place to live, The Founding is part of a visionary transformation of a 53-acre waterfront site into London’s first new town center in over a century. Residents enjoy exclusive access to three separate roof gardens, one designed for sunrise, another for sunset, and an expansively lawned area, all lushly planted and offering extraordinary views over the city.
The building also includes a lounge and work-from-home space at the ground floor, mezzanine and sixth floors, providing residents with banquette seating, artwork, and kitchenette facilities for relaxation and socialization. A concierge service ensures that residents enjoy a seamless living experience, while a brand-new leisure center adjacent to the property features two swimming pools, four racket courts, a multi-station gym, three studios, and an indoor sports hall, catering to health and wellness needs.
Simon Capp, Head of Residential Sales at British Land, comments: “We have seen strong appetite from Thailand since launching The Founding in the region, so it’s great to have Richmont’s on board. We have found Thai buyers are particularly keen on high quality, central London homes that offer excellent security and close to good transport links, motivated by the world class educational and employment prospects that London offers. The Founding demonstrates compelling credentials, being directly adjacent to a major Jubilee Line underground station and is the first phase in a transformational new project for London, with exceptional new amenities and unrivalled access to the best this city has to offer."
Tim Skevington, Managing Director of Richmont’s (International) Co Ltd, said “As the London property market evolves, investing in developments like The Founding at Canada Water offers Thai buyers a unique chance to engage with a vibrant community while enjoying significant long-term value. With the current economic landscape, the potential for strong rental yields and sustainable living makes this an ideal moment to consider opportunities in London. It’s not just about owning property; it’s about being part of a transformative vision for the future of the city."
As demand rises and inventory becomes increasingly limited, early buyers at The Founding are securing the most desirable units at today’s prices—benefiting from strong rental demand and long-term growth potential. With move-ins now underway in 2025, Richmont’s is offering Thai buyers’ exclusive access to this opportunity to own prime London real estate, it’s a chance to invest in the future of the city itself.
