It was (just) less than a year ago when the Rat and Mouse said "goodbye" to Knightsbridge's Bowater House and "hello" to news that it was to be replaced by a Rogers/Candy & Candy construction of 86 apartments.

The talk is of higher than high end, with price tags reaching £20 million...

... we said. Well, if only we'd have known. London's currently packed to the bonuses with UHNWIs (ultra-high-net-worth individuals) and rich people are said to be going nuts about the properties, even though One Hyde Park isn't yet a reality. In fact, there is already talk of penthouses in the development exchanging hands for £84 million.
