First release in Malaysia – Riverside development in Bath, a UNESCO Heritage City

Imagine waking up to the calm waters of River Avon, walking distance to Bath City Centre, a city well known for its history shaped by Roman influence, Georgian architecture and natural hot springs. The first release of One Waterside allows home buyers and investors to be the first to select their preferred unit in this riverside development in one of the UK’s most sought-after cities.

With access to 2 train stations, a 7-minute walk to Oldfield Park Station and a 20-minute walk to Bath Spa Station, Bath offers convenient transport links to Bristol Temple Meads (2 stops), Oxford (4 stops), Reading (4 stops) and London Paddington (5 stops), making it one of the top commuter towns in the UK.

Bath also offers exceptional educational opportunities, with numerous primary and secondary schools. The University of Bath, ranked top 10 in the UK (The Guardian, 2026), and Bath Spa University, ranked in the top 100 in the UK, are both easily accessible within 30 minutes by bus from One Waterside.

A charming historical town

Known for its outstanding Roman remains, 18th-century Georgian architecture, and natural hot springs, Bath was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, the only city in the UK to be designated as such. It is also a double-inscribed site, designated as one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe in 2021.

Take advantage of the natural hot springs, as Bath is one of the few places in the UK where you can experience natural hot springs. Residents can indulge in the hot springs at the several bath spas that the town has to offer, the perfect place to relax and enjoy a unique experience in the city.

With Bath city centre only a short 18-minute walk from One Waterside, residents are able to explore the history-filled town. Historical landmarks such as the Roman Baths and Bath Abbey are located close to Bath High Street, which also offers a mix of highstreet chain and boutique stores. Bath City Centre has more than 200 shops offering a mix of restaurants, cafés, pubs, bars for both residents & tourists to enjoy. Ranked amongst the highest per capita for hospitality venues in the UK for a city of its size, Bath is also home to 13 Michelin Guide restaurants and 1 Michelin-starred restaurant.

Besides boutique shops, restaurants and bars, Bath itself is surrounded by natural beauty, offering impeccable green spaces, hills and parks for people to wander. There are many parks within a 10 – 30 minutes walk in all directions from One Waterside, allowing residents to live within a balance of nature and convenience.

Bath’s major regeneration projects

The quaint city is known for its tourism. The city is undergoing a major regeneration, looking to improve its public spaces to create a better experience. Firstly, the city is reimagining their main high streets, which include Milsom Quarter and Kingsmead Square. The regeneration plans to provide new public spaces, event zones, and a dynamic outdoor trading programme.

A brand new business district, known as Bath Quay North, is also underway, set to deliver 16,000 sq ft of prime office space, alongside retail, financial services and welcoming pedestrian-friendly areas. With a firm growth trajectory, the Bath & North East Somerset Council is working to deliver more than 65,000 new jobs by 2030, in partnership with the West of England Local Enterprise.

With new projects to enhance the city, alongside a strong student population, this positions the city as a regional economic hub. Investors can expect consistent demand for housing and strong capital growth.

Why are investors investing in Bath?

Reliable rental demand from students – In the 2024/2025 academic year, more than 21,000 students attended the University of Bath. Students currently occupy around 25% of Bath’s private rental sector, and One Waterside is located within Bath University students’ accommodation.

Attractive entry price – A 1-bed home in One Waterside is priced from £335,000, 2 beds from £495,000, with an estimated rental yield of up to 6.5%. Considering Bath is a heritage city, new developments are very limited, with not many new build competitions, making One Waterside a unique offering.

The first release of One Waterside will feature a total of 76 units across 2, 6-storey buildings, comprising 1 to 3 bedroom apartments, with some of the larger 2 – 3 beds premium units looking over the River Avon. Amenities on-site include spaces for a nursery, cafe and restaurants, which will open up to residents as the masterplan develops.

One Waterside is a 999-year leasehold development with completion estimated from Q3 – Q4 2027. First-time buyers who are looking to purchase their first home can take advantage of the staged payment plan, with staged payments of 20% and the remaining 80% payable on completion.
