HTA Design's modular tower in Croydon, south London – now the world's tallest modular residential building – has completed with apartments available to rent. The 41,819m² scheme at 100a George Street, Croydon, known as Ten Degrees, includes 38 and 44-storey towers, providing 546 homes to rent, an art gallery and a café. The towers overlook East Croydon station and offer views across London. Flats range from one to three bedrooms and were manufactured off-site in a Bedfordshire factory by Tide Construction and sister company Vision Modular Systems. Ready-built modular pods were then stacked on top of each other on site. As carbon emissions are reduced through offsite manufacture, it is hoped the homes’ construction will use up to 67 per cent less energy than traditional builds. Other amenities include a rooftop gym, sky lounge, co-working space, rooftop and ground-level terraces, private dining room, pet spa, games lounge and cinema room. HTA Design won planning permission for the tower back in 2017. The project has usurped two 40-storey towers designed by ADDP Architects in Singapore as the world’s tallest modular development.
