Location & Lifestyle
The development was undertaken by Gap Developments plc and designed by TBA Periti. Its location places residents within walking distance of Sliema's seafront promenade, shopping areas, restaurants, cafés and other amenities.
Design and Open Spaces
Fort Cambridge was designed as a low-density residential development, with approximately 17% of the site occupied by residential buildings. The remaining area consists of landscaped gardens, open spaces and the restored historic Cambridge Battery. The apartment blocks are arranged as independent structures, allowing for multiple orientations and natural light from several sides. Many residences include large terraces, balconies and spacious internal layouts. No commercial outlets form part of the residential complex itself, helping to maintain a primarily residential environment.
