South Quay Plaza is a residential-led scheme for the Isle of Dogs, London, within the borough of Tower Hamlets. It is being developed by Berkeley and designed by architect firm Foster + Partners. The development includes three towers, the tallest of which will reach a height of 214.5 m (721 ft) making it the third tallest residential skyscraper currently proposed for the United Kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://skyscrapercenter.com/building/south-quay-plaza-tower-1/15631 )〕 There will also be new public and retail space, cafés and restaurants as part of the scheme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dezeen.com/2014/04/24/foster-partners-south-quay-plaza-skyscraper-london/ )〕 The new development will replace three buildings on the site which were built in the 1980's currently used for offices and retail. South Quay Plaza lies to the immediate north of Marsh Wall in the Isle of Dogs and to the immediate south of the London financial district Canary Wharf. Construction of South Quay Plaza is due to begin in October 2016 after the demolition of the current buildings on the site.〔 == Design and development == In April 2014, Berkeley obtained the South Quay Plaza buildings and site.〔 They had already developed plans in 2013 for two residential buildings of 73 and 36 storeys. However, the taller of the two buildings was considered too tall for the area.〔 As a result, it was reduced in height to 68 floors and 214.5 m in height (721 ft).〔 The smaller building remained unchanged at 115.2 m (378 ft) tall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://skyscrapercenter.com/building/south-quay-plaza-tower-2/17975 )〕 Planning permission was granted for the development by councillors at Tower Hamlets Council in November 2014.〔 In April 2015, the scheme received approval from London Mayor Boris Johnson meaning the development could go ahead.〔 In 2015, Berekely announced that a third tower will be constructed next door to the original scheme, but will form part of the South Quay Plaza development. It will be slightly smaller than the largest skyscraper at 210 m (689 ft) and contain 450 apartments as well as 20,000 sq ft of retail space. In total, the development will provide 1,338 residential apartments,〔 6,000 sq m of new outdoor public space as well as cafés and restaurants.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Quay Plaza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
