Manhattan Building, Bow, E3

Corner aspect two-bedroom warehouse apartment extending to approximately 897 sq ft, set within the ever-popular Bow Quarter, one of East London’s most iconic and architecturally significant residential enclaves.

Originally the site of the Bryant and May match factory, the estate occupied over seven acres and operated from the mid-19th century through much of the 20th century. In 1988, the site was acquired by Kentish Homes, with ORMS Architects appointed to reimagine the former factories, cottages and ancillary buildings into a pioneering residential community. Bow Quarter remains one of East London’s earliest and most successful regeneration projects, defined by its landscaped gardens, strong sense of place and preserved industrial character.

This apartment is located within Manhattan Building, dating back to 1909–1910, originally constructed as part of the factory complex. The building enjoys a prime position overlooking the communal terrace, swimming pool and residents’ gym. The apartment itself occupies a corner position, benefitting from double-aspect, south-west light to the living space, with large factory windows that flood the space with natural light throughout the day.

The accommodation centres around a dramatic open-plan living space with over 3.9 meter ceilings and original-style double aspect factory windows. The galley style kitchen is just off the living area.
The bathroom is positioned on the main living level, while two double bedrooms sit on the mezzanine level, each enjoying gallery views across the living space below.

Bow Quarter is widely regarded as one of the East London’s most desirable loft developments, offering an unrivalled suite of residents’ amenities including, a fully equipped gym, swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna, parcel collection service, landscaped communal gardens and terraces, a 24-hour concierge team and its own exceptionally well-stocked on-site supermarket.

Transport connections are excellent, with Bow Church DLR and Bow Road Underground Station both a short walk away, providing swift access to Canary Wharf, the City and the West End in under 30 minutes.
