About us
As the Managing Director of Intalet, a young and exciting property rental agency, John Griffin freely admits to being pretty discerning about the type of properties he acquires for buy-to-let investments.
“I now have a portfolio of apartments at Greenwich Millennium Village as I feel the site itself is superb, with so many advantages to residents,” he enthused.
“As I live in Dorset yet specialise in London Docklands properties, it is vital for me to have easy access to the development via road connections to Greenwich Millennium Village. You can by-pass the centre of London and have an easy route to the heart of the GMV, yet still see the London cityscape and the Thames and be within a few moments of the rest of Docklands without any hassle. I feel that the quality and standard of build at Greenwich Millennium Village are second to none. That is why I keep making investments here maintaining the high standards that my clients expect from my company.”
John’s latest apartment was acquired at Holly Court, Union, the newest release of apartments at Greenwich Millennium Village. Designed to enjoy a landscaped garden setting, Holly Court offers a distinctive range of homes, reminiscent of the first, popular phase of homes at the development. By using a warm palette of colours and by utilising decorative brickwork, timber cladding and coloured render, the exterior of Holly Court is warm and inviting as well as distinctive and contemporary. The external appearance has been enhanced by cascading terraces and balconies or private sundecks to many apartments.
Inside each apartment, light, bright and airy interiors are welcoming and refreshing, whilst fully glazed balcony and terrace doors help to ‘bring the outside in’ and add seamless connection to the outside world. Sliding doors within the open-plan apartments make it easy to adapt the internal space at will. An elegant, neutral décor ensures an atmosphere of understated calmness, accented with sleek, contemporary fixtures and finishes
Union enjoys a prime setting within GMV, close to acres of parkland and a four acre Ecology Park a short distance from the River Thames. Transportation links are excellent, with the Jubilee Line at North Greenwich station making the journey to Docklands, the City and the West End an easy one, with Canary Wharf just one stop away.
Since construction began back in 1999, GMV has become one of the most talked-about new communities in London. The development is the first of the UK’s Millennium Communities, and is built to environmentally friendly principles. The Village is setting new standards for sustainable development, which covers the complete picture; the homes, landscape, ecology, transport and use of resources.
Now there are over 700 homes occupied at the groundbreaking scheme, and this, plus the combination of a choice of amenities - including a Cinema complex, shops, bars and restaurants - has brought real life and colour to Greenwich Millennium Village. So much more than purely a ‘concept’ scheme, it is now a real community, buzzing with energy.
