A development of luxury apartments in London will be connected to a much faster digital world after receiving “gold standard” fibre broadband — making it the quickest in the UK. The move means residents will receive broadband 27-times faster than the average UK consumer receives today. Property developer Hadley Property Group (HPG) has selected residential gigabit provider Hyperoptic to connect the 89 grand homes in Chelsea Island. HPG is building the luxury flats as part of the regeneration of the Lots Road area of Chelsea riverside. James Taylor, sales and marketing director at HPG, said: “We have opted for best in breed suppliers and appliances to ensure that residents have an unparalleled living experience when they arrive at Chelsea Island. “We want to ensure that the connectivity complements the high quality of the home we’re delivering. In this digital age, residents want and expect their home to be highly-connected, incorporating smart technology — which is under-pinned by hyperfast broadband. “We have fitted each apartment with an advanced Bang & Olufsen home automation system – with full fibre from Hyperoptic, this will all work seamlessly on the day that they move in.” Steve Holford, Hyperoptic’s chief customer officer added: “Hyperoptic is renowned as the supplier of choice from our experience working with iconic and legendary developments in London, like Battersea Power Station, The Montevetro, The Tower and One St George Wharf – retrofitting fibre into existing buildings or installing fibre into new-build sites so that residents have access to our hyperfast speeds on day one.”
