Kew Bridge West | Brentford

IF the OP's referring to the tall building in the background of the first pic...

This one's called Kew Bridge West. Development website is here: http://www.kew-bridge.co.uk/

Nothing special there but nothing as ass ugly as the hotel building a bit further up Brentford high street. The tall bit referenced in the OP also gives the Green Dragon estate's towers a bit of context.

Thanks guys. Still, I don't believe that tower is part of the Kew Bridge West development. This tower is 'within' the cluster of the 6 Green Dragon Estate LA tower blocks...you can see that from the angles I took the pics. KBW is a riverside development on the south side of Kew Bridge Road. GDE is not riverside. It is north of KBR. curiouser and curiouser.

Edit: Kew Bridge West would be behind and left of the red brick building in the first pic. The forth pic shows this tower is within GD estate. Seeing as GDE is entirely LA housing, what are the chances of it being a salubrious apartment tower? Could it be a new social housing tower?

Ah yes! You are right in that it is called Kew Bridge West. However, its a different site and website to the one that has been posted:

Many thanks

lol Apartments in the tower are £750k or so in the tower. A tower that stands literally between some quite notorious council blocks. My brother lived in Cornish house for a short time until he was able to buy his own place (back in the day when you could just about manage to do that)

And the LA flats will be bigger than those ridiculously priced new builds. Still, many wont be lived in anyway but bought by overseas investors, of whom many wont pay tax (stamp duty and council tax due to multiple loopholes) so we wont even benefit from that. And even if some are lived in, many tenants will get housing benefit to afford the silly rents costing taxpayers to help pay the mortgage of investors. Yay for UK housing.

yes. where the housing market of one country is run for the benefit of foreign nationals of another country at the expense of its own citizens. most of the tax changes the tories have announced for overseas buyers exclude offshore trusts, the main vehicle used to buy expensive property in london.

This one is complete.
