Hundreds of apartments in Battersea Power Station will go on sale in the next few weeks, it has been revealed - and the price tags start at £495,000 for a studio.

Dramatic “starchitect” buildings will house 1,305 flats and penthouses, including one bedroom flats for £590,000, two bedroom apartments for £1.2 million, three beds for £1.9 million and four beds for £3.2 million.

They were designed by the practices of two of the world's most celebrated and well-known architects: Lord Foster and Los Angeles-based Frank Gehry.

It will be the third wave of homes on the 42 acre site around the Grade II* listed former electricity generator be released to buyers. Those who have already registered with Malaysian owned developers will be able to snap them up from 24 October.

The developers have pledged to put them on sale in London first before 539 are made available to foreign buyers during an international “roadshow” starting a week later.

The apartments will be on either side of the pedestrianised main shopping high street at the £8 billion development called Electric Boulevard.

Rob Tincknell, chief executive of Battersea Power Station Development Company, told the Evening Standard: “I strongly believe that when people live in very special places they develop a strong connection with where they live. They feel proud of it and don’t want to leave and that is how we counter ending up with empty buildings.

“Frank Gehry’s development in New York at 8 Spruce Street has the lowest turnover of any rental building in the city.

“There are so many residential apartment buildings in London where you are just living in a number in a block and they all look the same but here residents will feel the sense of connection people have with a house - but in an apartment block.”

Mr Tincknell said Gehry Partners, which has designed some of the world’s most eye-catching structures such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, had been given completely free rein “and we are thrilled with the response.”

Its scheme, called Prospect Place, is made up of five buildings inspired by John Nash’s Regency terraces and clustered around an extraordinary central block known as “The Flower.” Its facilities will include a “chef’s table” dining room, screening room, meeting rooms yoga studio and treatment rooms.

The London based Foster + Partners “1930s themed” building to the west of Electric Boulevard will be topped by one of London’s largest roof gardens,

The latest phase of the regeneration of the derelict coal fired power station includes 103 affordable homes, a doctor’s clinic, a gym, a private garden for residents a 167 room hotel as well as the shops, cafes and restaurants on 250 metre long Electric Boulevard.
