The development of the Beetham Tower in London is going to cost £1billion.</p> <p><img style="margin: 5px; float: right;" alt="Beetham Tower in London" src="http://www.beethamtower.org/images/beetham-tower-london.jpg" width="201" height="300" />The Beetham Tower in London, will be the home to 64 luxury apartments and a 261 luxury hotel which will be operated by the Jumeirah group. It's not only the super rich who will benefit from this development as a public gallery will be created at the top of the building. This gallery at the very top of the tower will offer outstanding views over London.</p> <h3>The design</h3> <p>The Beetham Tower in London was deigned by Ian Simpson who also designed the <a href="http://www.beethamtower.org/manchester/beetham-tower-manchester">Beetham Tower in Manchester</a> and the Beetham Tower in Birmingham.</p> <p>Simpson's original proposal for the tower at 1 Blackfriars Road was for a 200m tower with 68 stories. These original plans were changed following protest from various parties including local residents and the English Heritage. Plans were granted were for the construction of a 173m tower in 2007 and the construction of the tower will soon commence.</p> <h3>The construction</h3> <p>The site where the Beetham Tower will be built has already been demolished, and the construction of the tower will begin in 2009. It is hoped that the tower at 1 Blackfriars Road will be complete in time for the London 2012 Olympics.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BeethamTower/~4/kDIJKJuQni0" height="1" width="1"/> emaildavid@goodwebpractices.com (David Towers) Thu, 16 Oct 2008 16:10:16 GMT http://www.beethamtower.org/london/1-blackfriars-road.html http://www.beethamtower.org/london/1-blackfriars-road.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeethamTower/~3/FVADWr63mzE/beetham-tower-manchester-highest-2008.html <p>Did you know that the Beetham Tower in Manchester is currently the highest Beetham Tower in the world?</p> <p>There are Beetham Towers that have been built in Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool.
