Third Build to Rent Development Strengthens LRG and Medway's Ongoing Partnership
27th October 2025

The latest phase of Chatham Waterfront's Build to Rent regeneration is now underway, as Three Sixty Space and Medway Development Company announce the launch of Orion Wharf – the third collection of premium waterfront apartments to join this thriving riverside community.

Following the success of Pioneer Wharf and Ardent WharfOrion Wharf will deliver 19 brand-new, high-specification two-bedroom apartments designed for modern renters seeking quality, convenience and contemporary living by the water.

Each apartment features a spacious, open-plan layout, high-quality finishes, integrated appliances, contemporary fittings, and all apartments benefit from a private balcony or terrace that captures the best of the riverside setting. All homes are built to high energy efficiency standards, reflecting the development's sustainability focus. Residents also benefit from secure entry, bicycle storage, a co-working space, and use of the on-site resident car club – offering flexibility for commuting, weekend escapes, or daily errands.

Located at the heart of Chatham's regeneration zone, Orion Wharf offers easy access to cafés, shops, cultural spaces and excellent transport links, connecting residents to London St Pancras in just 38 minutes and the wider South East in under an hour.

Orion Wharf forms part of a wider placemaking vision to establish Medway as a forward-looking, well-connected community. Ideally situated to benefit from the town's ongoing regeneration and the natural beauty of its surroundings, the development is close to the Great Lines Heritage Park with nearby attractions including Chatham Snowsports Centre and Buckmore Park.

Justine Edmonds, Head of Build to Rent, LRG, commented, "Orion Wharf marks the third phase of our Build to Rent journey at Chatham Waterfront. With Pioneer Wharf and Ardent Wharf almost completely let, the appetite for high-quality rental homes in this thriving riverside location continues to soar. Orion Wharf will build on this success, completing a vibrant community that blends contemporary design, sustainability and exceptional living standards in one of the South East's most dynamic regeneration areas."

Lewis Small, Managing Director, Medway Development Company, commented, "The success of Pioneer Wharf and Ardent Wharf has shown the strong demand for high-quality rental homes in Chatham's regenerated waterfront. With Orion Wharf now following in their footsteps, we're continuing to build on that momentum and deliver exceptional homes that meet the needs of today's renters. Together, these three developments demonstrate how our vision for the waterfront is becoming a reality – creating a thriving, sustainable community that showcases the best of modern Medway living."

Homes at Orion Wharf are available now.
