Europe’s tallest resi tower comes to Docklands

9th September 2016

China’s Greenland Group has launched one of the most ambitious housing-project commitments in the UK since the Brexit vote, with the tallest residential tower in Europe. The launch of the £800m, 67-storey, 235m-high Spire London tower, in West India Quay, comes despite market concerns over a glut of homes in parts of the capital. The first of the 861 apartments go on sale next month, with one-bedroom properties starting from £595,000. Communal facilities include a crèche, meeting rooms, games room, and a “music/learning/cultural space”; other attractions include a gym, cocktail bar, and an infinity pool promising spectacular views over the capital. Construction is set to be complete by 2020.
