The cheapest apartment on offer is expected to <br>
<br>
be an eye-watering £35million - around 70 times the average cost of a house in the capital.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Due to complete in Spring 2026 the scheme will easily surpass <br>
<br>
London's previous record breaker, the £1.3billion One Hyde Park development in Knightsbridge.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Caudwell told The Standard that there are already <br>
<br>
more than 600 prospective buyers on a waiting list of billionaires and centi-millionaires <br>
<br>
who have expressed an interest in making a purchase at <br>
<br>
the scheme.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
There will be just 24 'principal residences' in the property including <br>
<br>
lateral apartments, penthouses and townhouses with up to five bedrooms, and five more <br>
<br>
smaller 'pieds-à-terre' apartments.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The size of the homes has not yet been disclosed but the developers say even the most <br>
<br>
modest property will start with a guide price exceeded <br>
<br>
by only a handful of mansions in London's richest neighbourhoods. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The average price of all 29 units - which cover 300,000 sq ft - will be close to £70million. <br>

The entry level price of £35million is 70 times the average London property value of around £500,000, and 130 times the national average price of £268,000 revealed in today's Nationwide house price survey for November.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The development's basement is being dug down to 90ft below ground level <br>
<br>
to make room for a health spa with a 20 metre swimming pool as well as a car park.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The designs were led by New York based architect Robert Stern and practice RAMSA, <br>
<br>
with contractors, Mace, the construction managers and PJ <br>
<br>
Carey responsible for the creation of the basement substructure and superstructure.<br>

Due to complete in Spring 2026 after a six years build the scheme <br>
<br>
will easily surpass London's previous record breaker,<br>

the £1.3billion One Hyde Park development in Knightsbridge.<br>

Caudwell - who founded the mobile phones retailers Phones 4u - attended the topping out of 1 <br>
<br>
Mayfair alongside senior members of the construction team.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The ceremony was marked by the final steel rafter, one of 79 at roof level, being <br>
<br>
put into place on the top of the nine-storey main apartment building.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
No expense has been spared on the building's <br>
<br>
interior and it will feature a ceiling with hand-painted <br>
<br>
frescos based on Michelangelo's Map of the Heavens in the Vatican, <br>
<br>
a reception room with a double height ceiling and 18ft high French windows overlooking the garden.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
There will also be a Palace of Versailles Hall of Mirrors-style crystal callery, <br>
<br>
created from over 1,264 hand-set pieces of cut glass, a library and <br>
<br>
a garden gallery, with seating areas opening directly onto the central courtyard garden.<br>
