In 2009 the profit margins of London property developers were becoming severely eroded, especially at the upper end of the residential live/work market. Many developers were failing to attract customers into their high rise schemes via designer specification alone.

Skyrise City Southwark, dubbed 'Cloud 9' by the locals, represents the first of a radical new series of developments. The premium priced modules in this hyper high rise mini city, reflect the luxury of gaining light and air whilst maintaining separation from one's neighbours at a healthy distance of 15 metres in any direction. The modules are fitted with every conceivable plug-in and plug-out technology. Expect many more such developments in the near future.
