Native Land is proud to introduce Opus, a 50-storey building, rising 170 metres high above London’s River Thames, offering meticulously crafted residences and uninterrupted views of the capital.
A new landmark for sustainable luxury living, Opus will comprise 249 future-proofed apartments ranging from studios to four bedrooms, alongside outstanding facilities including a padel court, bouldering wall, hydrotherapy pool and current pool, podcast and art studios and co-working space.
Alasdair Nicholls, Chief Executive of Native Land, shared: “As one of London’s most significant new developments, Bankside Yards is meeting a growing demand for the highest standards of sustainability while providing unrivalled amenities and access to the world-class cultural offer of the South Bank. We are therefore thrilled to launch Bankside Yards’ first residential offering, Opus, to the market. Native Land is proud to be working alongside a world-class team to deliver a landmark building that epitomises environmentally conscious city centre living, and we’re hugely excited to see this new riverside community come alive when the building completes in 2027.”
Set within Bankside Yards, the UK’s first fossil fuel-free major mixed-use development, Opus will run on a 5th-generation energy-sharing network, the first of its scale in the UK. It will be the second building to complete following the multi-award-winning, ESG-focused workspace, Arbor, and will soon be joined by six further buildings including a 5* 171-key Mandarin Oriental Bankside hotel.
Designed by world-renowned studio PLP Architecture, Opus includes 75% more corner apartments than the average building. The unique configuration ensures that most apartments can enjoy glass-to-glass, dual-aspect views of St Paul’s Cathedral, the City of London, the West End and beyond.
Lee Polisano, President and Founding Partner at PLP Architecture shared:
“With Opus, we are creating a vibrant, sustainable and integrated community. The building embodies the spirit of Bankside Yards’ hyper-mixed neighbourhood – connecting people to arts, culture, and urban life. Opus reflects the future of city living, blending luxury, sustainability and wellness through thoughtfully designed homes, next-generation energy systems and a rich provision of amenities both in the building and the wider neighbourhood.”
Native Land’s pioneering Bankside Yards development is set to complete the cultural walkway between Royal Festival Hall and Tate Modern, creating 3.3 acres of new ‘greened’ public realm. The 14 arches will be reimagined into 50,000 sq.ft of shops, bars, restaurants and leisure spaces, which will be on the doorstep to Opus residents. Located in London’s ‘zone 1’, Bankside Yards enjoys easy access to six London Underground stations, four National Rail stations, two Riverboat Piers and the London bus network.
The Opus Sales Gallery is now available for private appointments at: The Arches 250 Blackfriars Road London SE1 9AX
