London now has more than 500 tall buildings in the pipeline and a record 115 under construction, according to new research published by New London Architecture. The fifth NLA London Tall Buildings Survey, with research partners GL Hearn and data provider EG – launched on the 9th floor of TH Real Estate’s offices at 201 Bishopsgate – showed that despite signs of a slowdown, London has 510 tall (over 20 storeys) buildings proposed, in planning or under construction, compared to 455 in 2016, and with 115 schemes under construction compared to 91. The analysis suggests that living in tall buildings is becoming more accepted, with over 90% (458) of those coming forward residential, and with the potential to deliver some 106,000 homes. And data from EG shows that 30% of the proposed schemes in 2017 were Build-to-Rent compared with none in 2013. Read on >>>
