In short: Chelsea Barracks is the redevelopment of the former Army barracks on Chelsea Bridge Road, between Belgravia, Chelsea and Pimlico. Qatari Diar's 12.8-acre scheme was masterplanned by Squire & Partners, Dixon Jones and landscape architect Kim Wilkie, with Gustafson Porter + Bowman designing the landscaping. Around 40% of the site is given over to Belgravia-style garden squares, opening up public green space through the site for the first time in over 150 years. The first three phases completed in 2019. Fraser Bond helps buyers, tenants and owners at Chelsea Barracks and across SW1.
