Wandsworth Council has approved plans for a 26-storey residential tower Apex 1 in Nine Elms.

VINCI UK Developments and St. Modwen will deliver 201 new homes as well as 5,250 sq ft of retail space.

The zone 1 site sits next to the Nine Elms Northern Line tube station and is close to the new US Embassy, forming a key part of the Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea (VNEB) opportunity zone.

Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, Apex 1 is the first building of the wider Apex development site which has outline consent for 422 more homes and 66,000 sq ft of commercial space.

Nick Smith, Senior Development Manager at St. Modwen, commented:
"Apex 1 promises to be a high-quality new scheme for Nine Elms. This latest planning decision means we can deliver new homes for the area while achieving another important milestone for the transformation of New Covent Garden Market.”

Graham Lambert, Managing Director of VINCI UK Developments, said: "This Planning Consent represents a key milestone for the VSM Partnership and the redevelopment of New Covent Garden Market, and highlights our key priority of designing sustainable developments which create a positive legacy.”
