Manhattan Loft Gardens making significant progress

£250M contract awarded to create 143-metre tower.

The contract to build “Europe’s most ambitious residential tower” has been awarded by Manhattan Loft Corporation.

Work to build Manhattan Loft Gardens – the east London-based luxury apartments – was awarded to Bouygues UK, which is Bouygues Construction’s British subsidiary.

Work is already under way on this extraordinary structure that will be a landmark development and will add to the reputation of Stratford and its regeneration.

Situated between the High Speed 1 Channel Tunnel link and Stratford International Station, the 42-storey tower will comprise of 248 apartments, a 150-room hotel, spa, two restaurants and a lobby that will be of a triple height.

Manhattan Loft Gardens will provide a “new chapter in high rise” with its double-cantilevered tower and luxurious living spaces that will be complemented by three sky gardens.

A wide variety of apartment types will be available to residents upon completion, with 13 unique styles, all of which will be superbly fitted and finished.

The hotel will provide access to premium facilities that are designed to improve quality of life and further stimulate day-to-day interaction between people.

Sky gardens will give residents a view of the Queen Elizabeth Park and unbroken views of the landscape below.

They will allow those at Manhattan Loft Gardens to escape everyday life and enjoy the serenity that the skyline of London has to offer.

The £250M project is in safe hands with Bouygues UK and Harry Handelsman, CEO of Manhattan Loft Corporation, believes their work will further enhance the reputation of Stratford as a London ‘cultural hub’.

He said: “Our appointment of Bouygues, with its vast international knowledge and experience of high rise luxury developments, will add to our already top class project team.

“Manhattan Loft Gardens will continue the Olympic legacy by becoming Europe’s most exciting residential/hotel tower, thus confirming Stratford as one of the emerging prime residential, commercial and cultural hubs of London.”

Deputy CEO of Bouygues Batiment International, Mandani Sow, outlined the Company’s approach to the project that is important to the area’s regeneration, adding: “Bouygues UK teams will be fully committed to turning this innovative vision into reality. Technical prowess and architectural quality will combine to produce a building that will be greatly appreciated by its future users.”

Work on the landmark tower will be completed in 2018.
