Title
One Blackfriars is a mixed use development in London known as The Vase or The Boomerang due to its shape #216326655
Description
The development is made up of a 50-storey tower of a maximum height of 170 m and two smaller buildings of six and four storeys respectively. Uses include residential flats, a hotel and retail. In addition, a new public space will be created. The site was formerly occupied by the headquarters of Sainsbury`s supermarket. A public observation gallery was to have been situated on the upper two floors, offering panoramic views across the capital. The original plan would have featured a 5-star hotel and luxury apartments, each with their own internal conservatory space. However, a number of affordable homes were also be included as part of the scheme in a separate building on Rennie Street.
