The building was designed by British architecture firm Make Architects.[1] Standing at 182 metres (597 ft), as of September 2025 it is the 21st-tallest building in the United Kingdom.[2]
In 2022 the tower won the Best Residential Tall Building at the 2022 Tall Building Awards.[3][4]
History
Planning
An initial planning application was submitted to Tower Hamlets Council on 4 July 2014, then known as Meridian Gate. However, on 6 August 2014 the Mayor of London's office raised concerns, feeling as though it did not comply with the London Plan.[5][clarification needed] The development was approved in 2015.[6]
Construction
Construction of the tower began in 2016.[2] During construction, the development produced a new combined access solution for the company Brogan Group: the CAS tower and Colossus Hoist. This system was essential for the efficient lifting of large materials and personnel, especially the unique pods that had to be placed into the building. The project marked the first time the company used these two innovative systems together.[7] In 2021 construction of Amory Tower was completed.[8]
Design
According to Make Architects, the fin-clad facade's moiré pattern was influenced by the surrounding docklands.[9] The tower features 423 homes with 100 of these classed as "affordable".[10]
In terms of amenities, the cut-throughs in the facade create amenity space. The tower includes a private club facility on the 16th floor, a gym, pool and a spa.[10] Around 70% of the development's footprint is covered by public parks and gardens.[11]
