Ground-breaking ceremony marks the start of construction of Plot M0121 at Greenwich Peninsula
A major milestone has been reached at Greenwich Peninsula with the official ground-breaking ceremony for Plot M0121, a 29-storey residential tower designed by Chapman Taylor for developer Knight Dragon, with McAleer & Rushe appointed as Main Contractor. Due for completion in 2028, the scheme is the first of three plots progressing through the later stages of design and represents the next significant step in the continued evolution of one of London’s most ambitious regeneration districts.
Ground breaking ceremony 2nd of December 2025
Situated in a prominent riverside setting, Plot M0121 will deliver 300 new homes to the heart of the Peninsula. The tower has been conceived in harmony with the wider masterplan and serves as a successive counterpart to the well-established Waterman building. Rising elegantly from an enhanced public realm, the 29-storey form signals a new residential landmark for the neighbourhood, with a strong seven-storey podium creating an active urban presence at street level. The podium’s outward-facing apartments maximise daylight and dual-aspect living, while its carefully composed volumes frame private landscaped gardens for residents above.

The architectural expression of the tower is defined by its refined verticality, articulated further through strategically positioned corner balconies and a tri-partite façade of floor-to-ceiling windows. A step-in design above the 22nd floor creates a distinctive, slender silhouette, culminating in a sculpted crown that encloses spectacular external terraces on levels 22 and 29—offering panoramic views across London and Canary Wharf. A rich suite of amenities will elevate the living experience, including a double-height entrance lobby, co-working spaces, a landscaped podium courtyard and exclusive roof terraces.
As construction begins, Plot M0121 is set to become a defining addition to the Greenwich Peninsula skyline, delivering exceptional homes, enhancing the public realm, and contributing to the area’s continued architectural transformation. The project stands as a testament to innovation, aspiration and Chapman Taylor’s commitment to designing best-in-class residential environments for London’s growing communities.
