The BeCa, London

Development Overview

The BeCa is a new build apartment development situated on Old Kent Road, London SE15, within the Zone 2 area of Southwark. Positioned as the first phase of the major 5-acre Ruby Triangle masterplan, the scheme forms part of the wider Old Kent Road Opportunity Area regeneration, which is planned to deliver over 20,000 new homes and significant new infrastructure. The development is being marketed in partnership with property investment agent RW Invest, with Avanton named as the principal developer. The project, designed by award-winning Farrells architects, comprises 170 design-led apartments, drawing inspiration from New York's loft-style living. Construction is underway, with phased completion currently scheduled for late 2026 or early 2027.

Pricing for available units starts from approximately £460,000 for a one-bedroom apartment and from £625,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, though specific availability and pricing will vary, and purchasers should contact the developer for the current price list. Each of the 170 apartments is designed to include a private outdoor space or balcony. The leasehold term is a long 999 years, with ground rent confirmed to be zero.

A key feature of the development is access to three communal roof terraces, which offer residents panoramic views across the London skyline.

Location Benefits

Situated in Zone 2, the development offers practical commuter links. South Bermondsey railway station provides rail access, with services to London Bridge, Tower Bridge, and Charing Cross in under 15 minutes. Local bus routes, known as the 'Bakerloop' in reference to the proposed extension, offer a journey time of approximately 6 minutes to Elephant & Castle. Connectivity to major employment hubs like Canary Wharf and Westminster is direct. Future transport infrastructure is set to be significantly enhanced by the proposed Bakerloo Line extension, which will introduce two new London Underground stations along the Old Kent Road.

Local amenities are integrated into the masterplan, with 22,195 sq ft of ground-floor retail space, including a conveniently located Sainsbury's supermarket and on-site coffee shop. The regeneration area is also planned to include new schools and a health centre, confirming long-term commitment to improving local services.
