257 City Road Tower - 12 Mar 2012
Orion City Road Trustee Ltd, the vehicle set up by Orion Capital Managers for the redevelopment of 257 City Road, has secured a Resolution to Grant Planning Permission from Islington Council for a 30-storey residential tower designed by international architecture practice UNStudio. The decision, announced last Wednesday night, ensures redevelopment of this significant City Road Basin site will begin this year.
Initial consent for a tower on the site was achieved by Groveworld, a member of the previous owner group, 259 City Road Basin Ltd, in December 2006. The design has since been revised and submitted for the current consent. Groveworld is now working with Orion as development manager on the project.
