The development will be located adjacent to Canary Wharf and will provide 861 apartments, 765 of which will be for private sale. 

These apartments include luxurious suites, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom duplex penthouses.

Yuliang Zhang, chairman and president of Greenland Group, said Spire London would create a new iconic landmark for London’s skyline. 

“This is Greenland Group’s most important project in Europe, and will deliver exceptional new homes for Londoners. 

“Greenland Group operates across four continents and is a global leader in delivering high-rise residential buildings, and has already built or is developing four of the 10 highest buildings in the world.”

As well as residential apartments, Spire London will also feature a 35th-floor spa, which will include a swimming pool, lounge areas and a Jacuzzi with views over London.

There will also be a club room with a cocktail bar, lounge and cinema room, while the second and third floors will provide community spaces for residents. 

“This important launch reflects the confidence that Greenland Group continues to have in both the London economy and the London property market,” added Wenhao Qian, managing director of Greenland (UK) Investment Ltd.  

“We believe that there is always a demand for ‘best-in-class’ property assets that offer a high-quality, bespoke, designed and unique product in a prime location. 

“In our view, Spire London fulfils these criteria, and we believe there will be significant demand for the apartments within this tower from both the UK and overseas.”

Peter Gibney, director at JLL – who are acting as joint sole agents of the property in conjunction with CBRE – added that Spire London was well-located and on the doorstep of London’s financial hub.

“The tower is just a short walk from Canary Wharf underground station (Jubilee line) and Canary Wharf and West India Quay DLR stations, providing access to Bond Street, Bank and City Airport within 15 minutes, and has the added benefit of the new Crossrail Link due to open in 2018.”

Matthew Leitch, senior director at CBRE, added: “With its record-breaking height, unrivalled views and dynamic architecture, Spire London is distinctly different to any other project being launched in Docklands. 

“It stands apart from the current competition and we believe [it] will attract buyer interest from both end-user and investor buyers from the UK and overseas.”

Construction of Spire London is already underway, while piling for the tower will begin in January 2017 with completion expected for 2020 with the starting prices for one of the apartments beginning at £595,000.
