Development earmarked for new London rail link鈥檚 south-east terminus
Plans for a 29-storey residential tower block next to Abbey Wood Station in south-east London have been lodged for approval with the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
The 208-home scheme, created by architect Shedkm for developer HUB and investor Bridges Ventures, comprises two buildings 鈥� the tower, which has a 鈥渟houlder block鈥� rising to 15 storeys, and a separate a 10-storey block with a 90-bed hotel and some residential units.
It is designed to capitalise on Crossrail, which is due to start services in 2018 will have its south-eastern terminus at Abbey Wood which is currently being built by Balfour Beatty.
Shedkm director Alex Flint said the development 鈥� named Abbey Place 鈥� would be a visual marker for the area.
鈥淟iving spaces have been designed from the inside-out, maximising usable area through the elimination of corridors and efficient space planning,鈥� he said.
HUB said the scheme could start on site in summer 2017 depending on when Greenwich approved the planning application.
HUB and Bridges acquired the development site from U+I, the regeneration company formed from the merger of Development Securities and Cathedral Group, in December last year.
The site is the final phase of Abbey Wood鈥檚 鈥淐ross Quarter鈥�.
