Shanghai-based Greenland Group has submitted plans for a 67-storey tower at West India Quay, designed by architects HOK. Should it be approved, it will be the tallest residential building in western Europe, standing at 241m in height – 21 m higher than the neighbouring South Quay Plaza project being built for Berkeley Group by Laing O’Rourke. Hertsmere House will contain a total of 869 one, two and three bedroom units, along with new community spaces and a play area for children. A number of the properties will be classed as affordable. Setareh Neshati, Senior Planning Manager at Greenland, said the “graceful” new tower will complement the Canary Wharf skyline, while also improving the landscaping and public realm at ground level.
