London - Full Summary of Projects 12 - Page 6

GPE Tooley St scheme is to be taken by Southwark council. This has some implications for the E&C redevelopment as news this week seems to be saying the shortlist has been delayed until July as the developers are asking who will be the anchor office tenant for all the office space southwark wants for the development at E&C.

Lords have voted to limit a Mayor of London to only 2 terms, in a direct attack in my opinion on Ken Livingstone. Hopefully the Commons will stop it.

Good news from Jef on SSP regarding the 140m Marshwall Tower, and central London too:

"Good news re. the residential development at 22 Marsh Wall / Canary Wharf.

Young Property Portfolio manager has purchased the freehold of the 45-storey East Tower, also to be known as "The Landmark" for £400 million. The acquisition comes 6 months after the firm purchased the 31-storeys West Tower.

The 45-storeys tower will be marketed to both private and institutional investors. The development will be built by Chalegrove Properties.

Completion is due in 2010.

Other news: Qatar and Dubai investors and Gulf-based funds who bought the forthcoming 288m Pinnacle and 202m Heron Tower in the City have teamed up to create a new vehicle looking at investing oil-money into other development opportunities in Central London."

So it looks like we could see more projects being funded, or perhapse even being proposed by this new joint venture

Given their current developments, I'd like to think this combined partnership would plan another supertall... but something tells me it will be lowrise residential developments. Something like Bowater House probably.

Newcastle Guy · June 20th, 2007, 05:15 PM

I don't know like... They seem to have an infatuation with having the tallest and best

Maybe they will help fund the Shard too? I think it's the only one that needs it now.

potto · June 20th, 2007, 05:27 PM

perhaps we`ll get a lady di shaped island/gambling den floating on the Thames?

jorgen · June 20th, 2007, 05:29 PM

I'll spread the words about the Shard funding when I go to Dubai later this year

***gothicform*** · June 20th, 2007, 05:33 PM

little confused about the young group announcement as these guys are already a group open to investors ... infact thats how they raise the capital. it was inevitable theyd purchase both towers.

I have something major I'll be posting on this forum tomorrow.

Methinks it's the new London skyline render he's been working on.

The problem with me is, that news like this gets me thinking that maybe just maybe someone will buy the plot and design of the minerva/columbus towers and build them anyway. I know Im an idiot!

Not that anyone cares, i'm back! Wasn't long as I said was it? Couldn't stay away! Did get alot of things done though, and found new hobbies so that's a good sign.

Bloody hell, there's been some major work hasn't there!
Riverside South is doing major excavation
Southwark Towers are pretty much coming down
122 is being demolished beautifully
Norton Rose building is all wrapped up
Bishopsgate is getting wrapped up
Broadgate is halfclad!

Indeed, been looking forward to seeing this

BTW, welcome back eXSBass!!

St. Anger · June 21st, 2007, 06:32 PM

what are the chances of an even taller building than the pinnacle being built in the city, i kno CAA rules cancel out much option, but maybe they could bend the rules just for once, because in a lot of renders it looks like there is a huge empty gap between the pinnacle and its neighbours which seems to suggest a much taller building could be built to seal the skyline

Newcastle Guy · June 21st, 2007, 06:41 PM

The problem, I believe, actually lies with the cranes. If they had a way to build without cranes, they could probably build up to 330-340m-ish.

Is that correct?

Couldn't engineers try out a new system, just like rising a core but instead rising a whole building. What I mean is having a barrier type thing in the shape of the building's floor plates, then gruadually it rising with the workers working in the barrier so it looks as if a completed building is rising and rising

Don't know if that makes much sense? Think Doka. But not just for the core, the whole building!
