I can’t believe the prices! £6 million for a penthouse? This is only affordable for the super-rich.
Exactly, who even has that kind of money? Totally unrealistic for most people.
But that’s London real estate for you. It’s a global hub, so prices are naturally inflated.
It’s all about supply and demand. There’s always going to be someone willing to pay for exclusivity.
True, but it still feels out of reach for regular folks. Wonder how this impacts locals?
Interesting to see such a focus on Thai buyers. Seems like London developers know where the money is coming from.
Thailand’s economy is booming, lots of wealthy individuals looking to invest overseas. Smart move, I’d say.
Absolutely. And it’s not just the wealthy; middle-class investors are also looking for opportunities abroad.
Yeah, but what’s the impact on the local housing market in London? Prices are already sky-high.
These apartments look stunning, but it feels like a gentrification project. What happens to the community living there?
Gentrification is always a trade-off. Some benefit, others are pushed out.
Exactly, it’s a double-edged sword. I just hope current residents aren’t displaced.
White City has been undergoing changes for years. This is just another phase, but a lot of locals aren’t happy.
Investing in luxury properties seems like a safe bet nowadays, especially in a city like London.
Safe bet if you have the cash. Common folks can’t even dream of affording this.
True, but it’s an investment for generational wealth. These properties will only appreciate over time.
If you have millions lying around, sure. But for the rest of us, it’s just another unattainable dream.
The design of The Ariel looks absolutely breathtaking. Anyone know more about the architecture?
Yes, I heard it’s designed by a renowned architect. Lots of modern touches while preserving the historic essence of the place.
That sounds amazing! Would love to see it in person someday.
It does look nice, but those designs often cost a fortune. I wonder how much of the price is just for the aesthetic.
Nice to see Thai buyers getting some love. I might not buy one, but great info.
Yeah, but it’s interesting how these developers are so focused on Asian markets. Shows where the money is flowing.
Indeed, it will be fascinating to see how this affects future investments in London.
Are there any affordable housing options in this development at all?
With such high prices, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have simply ignored the need for affordable housing completely.
I’d love to own a piece of London history, but those prices are daunting.
You’re paying for the historical and cultural value too. It’s not just about the building.
There are other costs to consider, the upkeep in such a high-profile location won’t come cheap.
I’m curious how Brexit might affect these overseas investments in the UK property market.
Brexit has already shaken things up quite a bit. But real estate in London remains resilient.
True, but there are still many uncertainties ahead. It’s a gamble.
Brexit or not, London will always be a prime market. It’s got too much going for it to fail.
Why would anyone in their right mind spend so much on a tiny studio? It’s madness.
A studio in a prime location like this can be a great investment. Location is everything.
This looks like a good opportunity for high net-worth individuals to diversify.
I hope this doesn’t drive prices up for current London residents even more. It’s tough enough as it is.
