Victory Plaza, East Village

Built

Victory Plaza c Paul Riddle

These two towers in London’s East Village offer a focal point for this new community, with flexible rental accommodation over 482 apartments above a podium of shops and restaurants.

Victory Plaza is the first completed phase of our masterplan for East Village. This triangular urban block has two sides on Victory Park and a third on Celebration Avenue. It consists of two towers of 26 and 30 storeys with very flexible floorplates above a 10-storey podium. There are 482 apartments above a ground floor of shops and restaurants that animate the main street and park. The towers were almost entirely made of prefabricated components installed off innovative rising ‘jump-factories’.

Londons Tall Buildings Survey 2020

This scheme comprises an eight-storey podium and two towers, creating 482 new homes. The podium is robust with a heavier masonry construction, while the lighter towers have vertical structure only in the core and perimeter, providing great flexibility in layout. These towers were constructed from the UK’s first rising factory, a climbing mechanism that allowed the completion of a floor per week. Designed and built for the PRS market, the development is underpinned by ‘long-life loose-fit’ principles for future adaptability. Above the podium are roof gardens that provide private amenity space for the residents. Shops, restaurants and large entrance lobbies at the base of the scheme provide active frontages.
