NEW YORK: The four hundred and forty-sixth entry for the seniors housing Global Awards 2016 has been received.
London & Properties’ stepped “Toblerone” towers designed by SOM have been given the go-ahead by Southwark Council.
The towers, rising up to 39 storeys, are to be constructed on the site of 1980s office building Skipton House, London South Bank University’s Perry Library and the London Borough of Southwark Hostel in Elephant & Castle.
The buildings will house 408 private homes, nearly 50,000m2 of office space, 1628m2 of retail space and feature a 350-seat auditorium and cultural space, as well as several roof terraces, including one public terrace.
The developer is looking to provide affordable housing elsewhere equivalent to the value of £16.9m and is currently engaged in identifying a suitable spot.
