10 Apr 2025 CW Team

Set within the historic Victorian gas holder overlooking the iconic stadium, The Halo will feature 199 luxury homes, with 75 units available for early investment during the India launch. The project includes world-class amenities such as a private viewing deck, pool, spa, gym, and co-working spaces.

"There is a significant appetite among Indian investors for UK property, particularly in London," said Tom Jewell, Founder of Source Investments. "This is further underscored by the projected doubling of Indian HNWIs portfolio allocations to international real estate by this year. The UK market has consistently delivered stable growth, with London seeing positive returns in 21 of the last 25 years. We are bringing The Halo project to India first because investors here are showing a high level of maturity and a strategic approach to portfolio diversification. The UK’s real estate market offers both stability and long-term growth, making it an increasingly attractive proposition for Indian buyers."

Chris Tremlett, former England cricketer and Director at Source Investments emphasized the uniqueness of the project. “India's profound passion for cricket and its storied history makes this project particularly compelling. The Halo Project offers an almost tangible connection to The Kia Oval stadium's electric atmosphere. This connection to a rich sporting legacy, especially given The Kia Oval's significance as the site of India's first Test series victory in England in 1971, makes it a truly unique project.”

Paul Vallone, Chairman of Berkeley Central London, said:

“The magnificent Victorian gas holder at the heart of Berkeley’s Oval Village development is an iconic landmark on London’s skyline and, overlooking the world-famous Kia Oval cricket ground, an important backdrop to sporting history. Its meticulous transformation into a unique luxury residential building means that for the first time, buyers can own a piece of London’s heritage with an elegant and modern home set within the restored frame.

“Residents will benefit from a wide range of world-class amenities including beautifully landscaped public spaces, shops, cafes, restaurants and leisure space. Oval is an exceptional place to live; this established boutique neighbourhood has long been favoured by city dwellers for its array of parks, excellent transport connections and proximity to the centre of the capital. This is already a thriving, sought-after community and with the launch of The Halo, Oval Village is a destination for buyers looking to be a part of London’s past as well as its future.”

The launch underscores the strategic importance of India’s booming luxury real estate investor base.
