The Elektron development site is situated on the north side of the Thames directly opposite the Millennium Dome. Above 4-5 storeys, the site enjoys fantastic panoramic views of Canary Wharf to the west and the river to the south.
The opportunity to exploit these views generated the design of one 25-storey building and two 22-storey buildings providing 437 residential apartments.
The development offers a mix of units such as one bed, two bed, three beds and a selection of Penthouses. The apartments have been designed and finished to the highest standards and are of the highest specifications available. The layouts and spaces have been designed with modern living in mind and have been specified down to the smallest detail for maximum comfort and convenience.
Integral Cradles received the order to carry out the installation of six BMUs on complex track systems. The BMUs were installed during 2007 and were designed specifically to cope with the intricate subtleties of the building’s façade.
This cost-effective solution is still working perfectly today.
