33-, 48-STORY RESIDENTIAL TOWERS PITCHED IN SOUTH LONDON
City councilors in Croydon, South London, are weighing Tide Construction’s application to build a pair of 33- and 48-story residential towers next to Croydon College, MyLondon reports. Designed by HTA, the taller tower would have 836 coliving units for rent, while the shorter one would have 120 residences with shared ownership. The plan includes a colonnade walkway linking East Croydon Station and Fairfield Halls. Among councilors’ concerns were the long-term feasibility of the coliving model, safety along the walkway at night and tall towers casting shadows over Boxpark. Simon Bayliss of HTA said the 27-m2 coliving-average units would “cater to a full range of people of all ages.”
