CONDO PROJECT NEARLY COMPLETE IN PHILIPPINES
Zinnia Towers, a project consisting of 40- and 45-story condominium buildings in Quezon City, the Philippines, is being delivered by DMCI Homes, with the 40-story North Tower ready for occupancy (RFO) and the South Tower topping off recently, the Manila Bulletin reports. The South Tower is set to be RFO in the final quarter of this year. The development is close to public transit and includes eight levels of parking. It is being marketed as ideal for young professionals and families, since it is near schools and offices, and situated between metro Manila and Northern Luzon.
CANARY WHARF MIXED-USE PROJECT MOVES FORWARD
The city council has recommended that London Mayor Sadiq Khan approve 41- and 16-story buildings in London’s Canary Wharf designed by Rolfe Judd that would contain more than 200 apartments and stores or other businesses, bdonline.co.uk reports. A plan submitted in 2014 for the site, at 54 Marsh Wall, had insufficient affordable housing and public space, city leaders said. In the new plan, 36% of the residential units would be "affordable." The 0.2-ha site currently houses a three-story bank/office building.
