The demolition of Crown House, the 1980s office building that formerly stood on the site of The Atlas Building, is now complete, with the building reduced to ground level. Due to start in July, the piling work will continue until the October and bulk excavation is expected to begin in November.
An Affordable Housing development for Islington and Shoreditch Housing Association has been completed at Kingsland Road, offering an affordable provision to the neighbouring Atlas scheme. The Atlas venture is being delivered by Rocket Investments and it will see the creation of an iconic, 40 storey residential development to provide a high specification private and affordable residential offering, as well as a generous public realm space for the whole community.
Responding to Property Week’s report on why East London areas such as Shoreditch and Spitalfields are outperforming the more traditional commercial addresses, Tom Appleton, director at Rocket Investments said:
Rocket Investment’s hotly anticipated residential scheme, Crown House has been named as The Atlas Building in reflection of its central and iconic position on the Old Street roundabout junction. With demolition work already on site to remove the existing 1980s office building, Atlas will stand proudly on the skyline at 152 metres tall, upon completion in 2019.
