these are going on my wishlist of what i would love to see under construction this year

Newcastle Guy · March 11th, 2007, 04:35 PM

I expect that wish will come true if they get approval. These things should sell like delicious, delicious hot cakes

Just a quick mention fo rthe bus depot thing thay have in that photo, it's an amazing piece of architecture, and is actually worth taking a trip to have a look if you are in the area.

It's certainly very 'LOOK AT ME!' but I like it.

I've re-done the Sketchup models now that I am a bit better at the program

Newcastle Guy · March 12th, 2007, 06:44 PM

I have uploaded it, here is the link

Newcastle Guy · May 29th, 2007, 05:09 PM

Why haven't these been decided on again? I can't remember?

Planning permission is expected to be given this year, and the site is empty so I expect this will get underway quickly, whch I'm happy about as it's my favourite resi development in the city

Info from the site:

Client: London & Regional Properties
Structural engineer:
Expedition Engineering
Services engineer:
Roger Preston and Partners
Planning Consultant:
Gerald Eve
Planning consent anticipated: 2007

New renders (there a bit small mind)

It is also in London and Regionals last company synopsis dated feb 2007, so the project is still very much alive

IMO they put St George's Wharf tower to shame

Beautiful tower.

Newcastle Guy · May 29th, 2007, 08:25 PM

Agree, I really want these to go ahead. The recent models of St George's Wharf show it could actually turn out to be very nice, and together with these a good cluster should begin to form

delores · May 29th, 2007, 11:52 PM

anything is better than st georges wharf its hardly difficult

Jack Rabbit Slim · May 30th, 2007, 01:26 AM

Wow, can't believe I haven't seen that beauty before, great looking tower! That area deffinitely has the potential to form quite an attractive cluster in years to come.

But.....what's happening with it now??

NothingBetterToDo · May 30th, 2007, 02:35 AM

This looks great...like a stretched version of Ontario Tower down in Docklands.

I think it will fit in perfectly with St Georges Wharf - which, provided it has good cladding, will be a classy, understated building (IMO)

and-r · May 30th, 2007, 09:21 PM

if only lambeth could get on with approving it. its in the right location

ChrisDVD · May 30th, 2007, 09:49 PM

beautiful tower on Post #11...
I hate to say it, but find that it looks lik etessier's project for Tour Phare....jsut not the same color. :P

jimbo · May 30th, 2007, 10:03 PM

was at St George's Wharf last night, any boy, will these towers be a fantastic addition and draw attention from the Tower of Bara-dur on the riverside. Problem is that you'll never get away from the fact that this is a huge road and transport interchange. I mean its like 5 lanes coming from Battersea towards Vauxhall Bridge and MI5 - won't be the nicest environ, but I suppose the higher you are the better it will be.

snail456 · May 31st, 2007, 08:01 AM

never seems to stop people from buying houses right next to a motorway where I live so I don't see why it should make too much of a difference that these are next to one.

***wjfox*** · June 20th, 2007, 02:12 AM

Some new renderings. Bit small but never mind.

DarJoLe · June 20th, 2007, 11:21 AM

Have these shrunk? They look smaller than they were.

Newcastle Guy · June 20th, 2007, 01:15 PM

No. Infact, they may actually be 180m. Notice the outline of St Georges Wharf on the first pic behind the shorter tower, and how the taller one reaches the same height.

potto · June 20th, 2007, 05:57 PM

the shorter tower certainly looks shorter than those original renders, perhaps its just the angle
