Battersea Power Station is now under redevelopment. In January 2013 the first residential apartments went on sale, even though they have not been built yet. There are plans to create new apartment blocks on either side of the power station and many sites for businesses too. Construction on Phase 1 is due to commence in 2013, with completion due in 2016/17. Along with the plans there will be a new underground station to serve the redeveloped area.
