Skyscraper under review

Construction of the 67-storey Spire London, set to be the tallest residential skyscraper in western Europe, has been halted. It was expected to be completed by 2020. Now, however, the £800m scheme is at a standstill and prospective buyers are being told that sales had been temporarily halted because the design was under review. The economics of the project, by the Chinese developer Greenland Group, were also understood to be under scrutiny due to the fall in London property prices.
