Chalegrove Properties submits plans for 75-storey flat block
Plans for the second tallest building in the UK have been submitted to Tower Hamlets Council by developer Chalegrove Properties.
If approved the 75-storey residential development, planned for the site of the City Pride public house on Westferry Road, will stand at 239m, which is 4m higher than the current second highest building in the UK, the Canary Wharf鈥檚 One Canada Square.
However, the application would be 70m smaller than the Shard, which opened in 2012.
The Tower Hamlets website states that the application includes plans for 864 鈥渞esidential units鈥 and 84 serivced apartments, but detailed planning documents are not yet available to view.
Chalegrove Properties is behind a number of flatted developments in the capital, with this application part of a wider plan to build two Canary Wharf skyscrapers on sites it inherited from collapsed Irish property company Glenkerrin.
The other site will see 170 flats constructed in a series of low rise buildings. Together Chalegrove is branding the two properties as 鈥渢he Landmark.鈥
