The Surrey town of Camberley is currently in the midst of a £300 million regeneration programme, with its residents set to reap an array of rewards from the redevelopment within the next few years[1]. From the modernization of retail spaces to the addition of new art installations across the town, Camberley is being transformed into an up-and-coming, vibrant place to live. Located right in the heart of the town’s regeneration, award-winning developer Berkeley’s striking collection of contemporary apartments at Lumina pose an exciting opportunity for prospective homebuyers looking to invest into the town’s transformation, and benefit from the predicted 17% price growth forecast expected for homeowners by 2025.
Despite apartment prices in the area being 19% below the Surrey average per square foot – making Camberley one of the most affordable destinations in the county – residents at Lumina are able to benefit from a range of amenities right on their doorstep, including the variety of improvements being made to the town centre. The Square shopping centre, just a three-minute walk away, is being reinvigorated as part of the regeneration into a brand new leisure and entertainment destination, containing around 100 shops and cafes. Alongside this, Camberley’s High Street has been awarded a £3.5 million grant to improve the roads and pavements, as well as the installation of public art, walkways and public seating within the town[2]. Residents are also set to benefit from a brand new multi-million pound leisure centre, which will include wellness facilities such as a swimming pool, climbing wall and gym.
Ben Annetts, Sales and Marketing Director at Berkeley Homes Southern, comments: “We are thrilled that the regeneration of Camberley currently being undertaken is transforming the area into a thriving retail and residential hub. Regeneration areas always tend to be popular with prospective homebuyers due to the opportunity for price growth, and the range of high-quality and brand new facilities available in the area.
