Victoria Point’s 216 luxury apartments: future-proofed by smart design.

What we think

Working with Elevate Property Group and Naismiths on Victoria Point is an example of how to achieve win/win sustainable solutions. The project has clear benefits for both residents and the environment. Our comprehensive approach to mechanical and electrical design means this development will provide efficient, low-carbon living for years to come."

What Naismiths thought

The Victoria Point, Ashford, project was a great success. Zenergi was appointed to the design team to provide Mechanical and Electrical building services designs for this new build project. Their industry and sector expertise was evident from the start, allowing them to quickly familiarise themselves with the project goals and effectively produce the designs. We will be pleased to work with Zenergi on further projects."

Naismiths

Victoria Point is a development of 216 luxury apartments located in the heart of Ashford, close to Ashford International Train Station. Property developer Elevate Property Group and Naismiths construction consultants came together to manage this well-known  development in the local community. They quickly recognised that they had a responsibility to include a proactive carbon reduction plan that would mitigate climate change and brought Zenergi on board. We partnered with them to deliver comprehensive mechanical and electrical services that would put sustainability at the heart of the development and future-proof this flagship community project.

 

A team effort

From the start, our experienced team of mechanical and electrical consultants worked closely with Elevate Property Group, Naismiths and a diverse range of delivery partners to understand the project’s ambitious sustainability goals. We met regularly and planned collaboratively, developing a comprehensive approach to deliver luxury living standards, together with meaningful environmental benefits. We put our 30+ years of expertise in large-scale low carbon mechanical and electrical engineering projects to good use, assembling the right team from our expert colleagues for this high-profile development.

Making an impact

We designed and coordinated the full Mechanical and Electrical Services package, including design, drawings and specifications – focusing on technologies that would minimise long-term energy consumption. Our solution included a centralised heating system provided by a domestic district heating network serving all 216 apartments, LED lighting for energy efficiency throughout the development and electric vehicle charging points to support residents’ transition to cleaner transport. We also managed all new metered utility connections and developed detailed specifications that prioritised energy efficiency.

Driving results

The project delivered exactly what Elevate Property Group and Naismiths envisioned – a luxury development that demonstrates genuine commitment to sustainability. Our energy assessors produced Energy Performance Certificates upon completion, confirming the development’s efficiency credentials. The inherently low carbon technologies we installed will benefit residents, providing long-term energy efficiency, while the electric vehicle charging infrastructure will keep the development future-ready as transport continues to evolve.

The big picture

Projects like Victoria Point demonstrate what's possible when developers prioritise sustainability from the design stage. By integrating efficient mechanical and electrical systems throughout, we've created a development that delivers both luxury living and environmental responsibility. It's exactly the kind of forward-thinking approach our communities need."
