Developer releases plans for O2-adjacent tower block

Developer Crosstree has released plans for a 36-storey residential tower block next to the O2 Arena in Greenwich. One Peninsula Tower would be built on the site of the former East Greenwich Gasworks. Greenwich Council previously approved plans to build a tower block on the site in 2018, when developers AEG sent designs for a building with 260 homes, with 22.5% being considered affordable; the design for the new building is similar to the previously approved plans in 2018, with the 115-metre height of the tower remaining unchanged. Differences in the new design include slightly slimmer features, a shared gym and community spaces, and 632 cycle spaces to encourage less car use.
