Planners in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets have called for more time to consider planning for a residential skyscraper on the Isle of Dogs in London Docklands.
Hong Kong private equity firm Gaw Capital and development manager City & Docklands plan to build a 52-storey tower with around 460-flats on the site of low-level office buildings at 4-5 Harbour Exchange Square.
Designed by Make Architects, the One East Point project has been recommended for approval but a decision has been delayed to allow for a site visit to investigate potential construction work disruption in the local area.
At 175m tall, the building will be the second tallest in the Millwall Inner Dock cluster, 10m shorter that the nearby Maddison building in the emerging residential zone.
The client team includes City & Docklands (development manager), WSP (structural engineer), Meinhardt (M&E Engineer) and Hoare Lea (Fire Engineer).
