SOM Design New Olympic Site Tower

Published on 09-09-2010 by Skyscrapernews.com
A planning application has been filed with the Olympic Development Authority for a new residential tower and attached hotel building by architects, Skidmore Owings & Merrill.

One metre under skyscraper level, the 149 metre tall, 42-storey project will serve primarily as a 235 apartment residential tower with the hotel in a 9-storey section next to it that will have 150 bedrooms. Also included on the lower floors of the development will be 300 square metres of commercial space.

Developed by the Manhattan Loft Corporation, it is being built within Zone 3 of Stratford City on Plot N24. Despite this the project is being reviewed by the Olympic Development Authority rather than Newham Council.

The existence of such large scale residential projects are considered essential for the longterm viability of the Olympic site. All too often have athletes villages fallen into disuse after the competitions are over due to the fact there is little in them beyond the original prestige the sports events bring, particularly as they are usually built for one specific purpose.

The authorities in London are desperate to make sure that the money they have spent on the games isn't wasted and there is a real long-term legacy hence the attempts to turn the Olympic Stadium into something longer lasting like a football stadium and encouragement of further such projects to be built after to help it reach critical mass and become a fully functioning district of London.
