Key Details

Overview

Ten Degrees on George Street is a Build-to-Rent development in Croydon, London CR0.

The two towers were at the time the world’s tallest structures to have been built off-site using modular construction. The method is a lot faster alternative to traditional construction, without compromising on the quality of the building.

The 38-storey and 44-storey towers up to 135 metres comprise 546 new homes.

All apartments at 101 George Street benefit from access to shared amenities including roof gardens at the top of each tower, a podium-level sun lounge, panoramic viewing galleries, fully equipped gyms, residents lounge and private dining and event rooms.

101 George Street includes homes for rent on a variety of different terms, including affordable housing, London Living Rent, rental discounts, as well as open market rates.

The development delivered a new civic environment for Croydon at ground level with a ‘woodland winter garden’ that will offer green space on George Street. The ground floor incorporates an art gallery, artist’s studio spaces, a business incubator hub and a café.

101 George Street was developed using modular construction, a method providing a much faster alternative to traditional construction without compromising on the quality of the building or the versatility of the design. Modules were constructed offsite in a controlled manufacturing environment to ensure a higher quality finish, with 80 per cent less waste, fewer onsite workers and greater certainty on costs and time. The modules were shipped from a factory in Bedford with the electricity prewired and plumbing, furniture and windows already installed.

101 George Street is the fourth project Greystar and Tide Construction have delivered using this method and brought the total number of units the partnership has delivered in London to 1,700 units.

The development is located directly opposite East Croydon train station.
