The luxury One St Julian’s Avenue development in St Peter Port was officially opened on Friday 20 June with over 40% of the apartments and penthouses already sold.

Guests at the special launch event commended the developers on the design, quality and spaciousness of the development as they celebrated the completion of the 29 local market apartments and three open market penthouses. Hundreds of people were shown around the development including the spectacular central courtyard, stunning show apartment, and world-class views across Candie Gardens and the east coast of Guernsey.

We are delighted with how this development has gone. To have sold over 40% including one of the open market penthouses before even completing the development reflects the exceptionally strong demand for high quality, distinctive developments in Guernsey like One St Julian’s Avenue ,’ said a spokesperson for developers Vauxlauren Property Holdings.

‘The response from guests at the launch event and those who have acquired apartments to date is very positive and we are confident with the level of enquiries that the remaining apartments and penthouses will be sold soon.’

The main building works finished this week on the one, two and three-bedroom local market apartments and three open market penthouses including completing the St Julian’s Avenue façade which features grand, black cast iron gates with the development’s branding. The central feature courtyard, which also boasts plenty of brick arches and facades to create the warehouse character of the development, has been hard landscaped and planted. Final internal fit out works are well underway.

Spencer Noyon, a Director at Swoffers who are joint sales agents, said the development’s prime address and location, enviable balcony views, and high quality finishing, make it very desirable.

‘We have had significant interest from young professionals and people looking to down-size/ upgrade to a convenient, low-maintenance way of living, and these apartments certainly satisfy that need,’ he said.

Mr Noyon said that there has been a steady stream of enquiries for the apartments and penthouses, with people excited about the quality and style of the units. The show apartment is now available for viewing and includes the exclusive furniture ranges available from Bonsai Bespoke.

‘With one bedroom apartments from £345,000, the high quality, location and views, it is no surprise that demand is so high from people wanting to be part of this unique residential development,’ added Mr Noyon.

Gavin Rihoy, Managing Director of main contractor Rihoy & Son, said it has been a challenging development with its own particular set of obstacles to be overcome.

‘However we have managed to deliver a building that we are extremely proud of and we hope will be enjoyed by those who live in it for many years to come,’ he added.

‘The construction process has been a real team effort and I wish to sincerely thank everyone involved.’

The developers behind One St Julian’s Avenue have arranged an exclusive finance package offering up to 100% finance (without parental guarantee) for young professionals looking to own an apartment at the development.
