Greenwich Project by Santiago Calatrava
27 Jan 2017
The firm behind the ongoing regeneration of south-east London’s Greenwich Peninsula is set to unveil a £1 billion project.
The Spanish architect will reveal the scheme at a special launch event on 2 February, alongside London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the senior management team of development company Knight Dragon, reports CLADnews.
Little has been revealed about the project, except for the fact it will be located “at the heart” of the growing residential and cultural district, which covers a 150 acre area around the O2 Arena to the south of the River Thames.
Knight Dragon has previously revealed Greenwich Peninsula will include 15,720 new homes across seven districts, a design zone for startups, a host of leisure venues and public spaces, central London’s largest film studio and a 5km “sculptural running trail”.
Other architects known to be working on the scheme include Skidmore, Owings & Merrill – creators of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa and the new World Trade Centre in New York – who have designed residences in the exclusive Upper Riverside neighbourhood.
Knight Dragon says £8.4bn (US$10.5bn, €9.8bn) will be invested in the peninsula, including £500m (US$628.6m, €584.4m) for the public spaces.

The NY Times says of this boldly organic building, “Santiago Calatrava’s winged dove, beefed up to meet security demands, devolved into a dino carcass. The project’s cost soared toward a head-slapping, unconscionable $4 billion in public money for what, in effect, is the 18th-busiest subway stop in New York City, tucked inside a shopping mall, down the block from another shopping center.”
