The building formerly known as IYLO may have
faced a tough start in life - famously so, from the perspective of many local
residents - but it is now fulfilling its promise after finally being completed
and rebranded as ISLAND.
Work was first started on the building seven
years ago, but construction is now finally done and residents have been moving
in. The 20-storey tower offers London living without the price tag that you
might expect from such a facility, with a host of well-appointed one, two and
three-bedroom apartments.
Each of ISLAND's apartments and penthouses
offers either a terrace or balcony. Floor-to-ceiling windows in each of them
offer exceptional views of one of the world's truly great cities. Those heading
down to ground level are able to explore and unwind in idyllic landscaped
gardens, and residents are only a few steps away from West and East Croydon
stations. Public transports links are numerous, so you can get to wherever you
need to be whether you're travelling by bus, train or tram.
The complex is situated just steps away from
Central Croydon, which offers a host of exciting shops, restaurants, bars, live
music venues, theatres and cinemas. Although ISLAND didn't have the greatest
start when it still known as IYLO, construction gathered pace a few years ago
and the complex has now been unveiled and opened its doors to residents.
Progress was initially halted when the previous
owner went into administration, but the new team in charge has brought
genuinely secure funding, along with a determination to fulfil ISLAND's destiny
as one of the most sought-after places to live in the capital.
The completed ISLAND comprises 183 luxurious
penthouses and apartments, as well as a standard-raising lobby and reception
area. Like the area it is situated in, ISLAND is ready to move onto bigger and
better things after changing its image remarkably. Croydon was once seen as one
of the most run-down and undesirable areas of London, prior to the significant
amount of investment that it has received in recent years.
The town is now home to a number of the world's
most prominent tech firms. In 2017, it will also become the home of a brand
new, high-profile shopping centre, designed to be among the most impressive in
the UK. It all means that when one moves into a new ISLAND apartment or
penthouse, they can look forward to a luxurious and rewarding lifestyle, both
now and for years into the future as the locality's fortunes continue to rise
with those of the one-time IYLO.
