In limited supply: modern Maida Vale townhouses for sale on former petrol station site by award-winning architect Terry Farrell


David Spittles

Modern-design new houses in Maida Vale are rare, so a project by award-winning architect Sir Terry Farrell, whose HQ and home are in a former Spitfire factory off Lisson Grove, will interest many home buyers.

Lyons Place is the follow-on project of developer Almacantar from its conversion of Centre Point tower at Tottenham Court Road into snazzy flats.

Resourcefully built on the site of a petrol station, Farrells has designed five beautifully crafted three-storey townhouses with patio gardens and terraces, plus a sleek block of 24 private apartments and 47 affordable homes.

Modern Slavery Act Disclosure

This statement is made pursuant to s.54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, in respect of the financial year ending 31 December 2017.

It sets out the steps that Almacantar Limited and its relevant subsidiaries (at present, Almacantar Centre Point Construction Limited) have taken - and are continuing to take - to ensure that modern slavery or human trafficking is not taking place within our business or supply chains. We are committed to acting in an ethical manner, with integrity and transparency in all business dealings.

Our organisation 

Almacantar Limited is part of the Almacantar property investment and development group. The group specialises in large-scale, complex investments in Central London, with the potential to create long-term value through development, repositioning or active asset management.

Our modern slavery risk areas

Almacantar Limited had 37 direct employees as at 31 December 2017 and so relies heavily on external suppliers to undertake its and its subsidiaries’ commercial activities. These commercial activities include the redevelopment, construction and active management of real estate assets.

We consider our most significant risk areas in relation to slavery and human trafficking are in our construction supply chains, which are multi-layered and require manual labour resources.

Steps taken during 2017

During the course of 2017, we continued to promote awareness of the Business Ethics Policy in our Staff Handbook, which educates staff about the warning signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. The policy sets out the steps that employees should take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking, as well as how to raise a concern. 

This policy requires staff to carry out a risk-based assessment of any new supplier. For suppliers and contractors that are considered higher-risk with regards to modern slavery and/or human trafficking, the following steps should be taken:

  1. questioning the supplier about the systems they have in place to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking; and/or
  2. including an express contractual provision in supplier contracts requiring adherence to current modern slavery and human trafficking legislation.

Furthermore, a questionnaire was issued to the group’s primary building contractor to ascertain the steps they take to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking. Their responses indicated that a robust approach is being taken to guard against modern slavery and human trafficking and that appropriate process are in place.

Ongoing measures

During 2018, we are continuing to ensure employees monitor the risk of modern slavery and human trafficking in our supply chains, take appropriate measures and understand what to do if they have concerns
