Designed in collaboration with Lipton Rogers and real estate developer Hines , the Southwark Council has just agreed to proceed with the development. Titled "18 Blackfriars Road", the project aims to revitalize a neglected two-acre brownfield site that has sat vacant for two decades.
Prioritizing sustainability, 18 Blackfriars Road is set to stand as an example of net-zero carbon operation, relying entirely on electric power and ground source heat pumps to fulfill 95% of its heating needs. The scheme is designed to provide affordable housing, free workspace for local entrepreneurs, and a cultural center for the community. On track to become the first high-rise project in the UK to achieve the WELL community Gold Standard , the project aims to achieve enhanced health and well-being.
With a focus on biodiversity , the project aims to increase greenery by planting around 100 new trees, further enhancing the area's ecological footprint. Creating a good standard for the surrounding community, the development aims to become a benchmark for a premium workspace in London while also contributing to the city's status as a global hub for culture , education, and commerce.
