Spire London in London Docklands

Greenland Group, one of China’s largest premium residential developers, is launching Spire London in London Docklands, an 235.145 metre (771ft) high 67-storey residential tower, with a GDV in excess of £800 million, the tallest in the UK and Western Europe, with concierge, retailing, residents’ gardens and five-star lifestyle amenities including a 35th floor Spa and Club Bar.

Located in Hertsmere Road, adjacent to Canary Wharf and directly fronting onto the 30 acres of water in West India Quay, Spire London is designed by architects Larry Malcic and Christopher Colosimo of multi-award winning architectural practice HoK, and by leading interior designer Nicola Fontanella of Argent Design.

The tower will provide 861 apartments of which 765 are for private sale. The private sale apartments include luxurious suites, one, two and three bedroom apartments, and three bedroom duplex penthouses.

The tower has been designed to provide uninterrupted panoramic views over the whole of London – the highest and most far-reaching ever provided by apartments in the capital – capturing the Thames, Canary Wharf, the City of London, and numerous famous and historic landmarks.

The striking and unique architecture is inspired by the nautical history of the site and by the orchid, a flower cultivated in China for more than 3,000 years. Three petals form the spire, creating faceted glass façades and nautical style ‘prow’ and ‘bow’ contours. The angled roof of the tower allows for outside terraces in the premier and penthouse apartments, whilst feature louvres allow for natural ventilation throughout the building.

Spire London is designed so that resident and visitor arrivals deliver a memorable first impression. Around the tower there will be a new public realm with a paved piazza, entrance driveways, birch trees, sculptural benches, and to the northeast of the tower a dramatic dancing fountain, inspired by the one at Somerset House.

Inspired by the Thames landscape, Argent Design has given the lobby an aquamarine, white and bronze colour scheme with terrazzo flooring and swirling rugs which echo the shape of the Thames.

The luxurious private sale apartments are on the eighth to 66th floors of the tower with sizes ranging from 50 sq.m. (538 sq.ft) for a one-bedroom apartment to 150 sq.m. (1,615 sq.ft) for a three-bedroom duplex.
