Battersea Power Station Developers reveal ‘Sky Market’ Plans

Posted on 5 September, 2014 by Neil Bird

Following Land Securities’ promise to place street food on the menu of its mixed-use scheme in Victoria, comes the news that the developers of Battersea Power Station are planning to go one better – by constructing a ‘street food market in the sky.’

The idea is part of the ambitious redevelopment plans for the 42 acre site which aims to create a new quarter on the South Bank complete with contemporary homes, offices, shops, restaurants, bars and hotels.

The proposed food market will be on the third level of the power station building immortalised on the cover of Pink Floyd’s 1977 album Animals. It will be served by a lift to transport the street food vans to the market floor.

The chief executive of the Battersea Power Station Development Company, Rob Tincknell, told the Evening Standard that “it will be the most amazing food court in London.”

The market is expected to open with the completion of Phase One of the scheme in 2016.

Chairman Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin, said that the company’s vision is to create an urban quarter that residents, workers and visitors can enjoy day and night.

“This is behind the drive to find the very best mix of UK and world-wide businesses to lease over three million sq ft of retail, and office accommodation,” he explained.

As part of this drive, the company is due to embark on an international marketing tour, encompassing 11 countries, in search of commitments from businesses to take space at Battersea.

The roadshow will take place during October and November and include stops in Paris, Milan, New York, Los Angeles, Dubai and Beijing.
