Spire: standing proud over Canary Wharf

4th November 2016

New images have been published of Greenland Group’s £800m, 67-storey, 235m-high Spire London tower, in West India Quay - revealing the structure’s decidedly suggestive shape when viewed from above. Architects Larry Malcic and Christopher Colosimo say it is intended to resemble the petals of an orchid; however, its outline has led many to wonder if the Gherkin has lost its status as the most phallic building in the capital. Apartments in Spire London start at £600,000, with the most expensive available for around £3m. Residents will enjoy the use of an array of luxury amenities, including a concierge, gardens, and an infinity pool promising spectacular views over the capital.
