Berkeley Homes has launched the second phase of South Quay Plaza, the UK's tallest residential scheme, in the historical London Docklands.

South Quay Plaza will be a mixed-use and sustainable waterside development in E14 and will include a 68 storey, 220m tower and a smaller 36 storey tower. The development will total over a million square feet and deliver 888 residential properties, including 188 affordable homes, together with cafes, shops and restaurants. Plus over 1.6 acres of landscaped public space, including a new dockside promenade and a pocket park.

Harry Lewis, Managing Director, Berkeley Homes (South East London), said: "At Berkeley Homes all of our developments are designed not only to be fantastic places to live but also to permanently enhance the neighbourhoods in which they are located. At South Quay Plaza, we have gone one step further by creating a visionary scheme of outstanding design quality, both inside and out, with superb residents' facilities and 1.6 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and public realm. With the help of Foster + Partners, this sets a new benchmark for quality London living."

The scheme will offer a selection of studio, one, two, three bedroom apartments and penthouses. The stepped tower structure will be built at a 45 degree rotation to maximise water views and dual aspects and each apartment within the scheme will have floor to ceiling glazing, offering an uninterrupted panorama of the city's skyline.

Residents will also benefit from an exclusive, state of the art health club and spa which is complete with a 20m double height panoramic swimming pool, whilst the entire 56th floor is dedicated to a residents' club lounge including a bar, screening room, business lounge and an enormous terrace with outside bar and dining facilities.

Planning permission for the site was granted in April 2015. Construction is due to begin in January 2016, with completion of the first phase expected in 2020.
