One of London's most recognisable office buildings could soon be converted into residential units. New owner, Almacantar, is set to open talks with Camden Council about the conversion of the 34-storey Centre Point tower that sits on the edge of four districts in the West End.
The modernist icon was the first skyscraper built in the West End and was a very controversial addition to the low rise London skyline. But over the years it has slowly become more and more loved, probably helped by the fact that the general public can now appreciate the views from the Paramount bar and restaurant on the top 3 floors.
If the refurb is done well the tower could become as popular as Trellick Tower, another 1960's tower that was unloved until it was refurbished. The developer is due to unveil its proposals next month.
