One Nine Elms

One Nine Elms is a landmark residential development comprising two of Europe’s tallest residential towers: a 56-storey City Tower and a 42-storey River Tower, connected by a glazed bridge providing access to shared amenities. The scheme delivers over 73,000 sqm of high-spec residential accommodation, alongside retail space, a sky garden, and a residents’ lounge at Level 50 with panoramic views across the River Thames.

Designer Group delivered the mechanical shell and core works, including rainwater systems, public health, heating, ventilation, comfort cooling, LTHW, chillers, cooling towers, smoke extract, and full insulation. Modern methods of construction were applied extensively, with a high level of prefabrication improving quality, safety, and programme efficiency.

Sustainability was embedded throughout the development. The project has been designed for future compatibility with the wider Nine Elms district heating network, supporting reduced carbon emissions and improved energy performance. Energy-efficient building services further enhance operational efficiency, positioning One Nine Elms as a benchmark for high-rise residential development and reinforcing Designer Group’s capability in delivering sustainable, technically complex projects.
