London development with green credentials
Following our earlier story about vertical farming it seems that developers are using the same principle to provide garden and amenity areas. Ropemaker, a new 20 storey development that has recently been completed in North London, has nearly half a hectare of planted roof terraces on three staggered levels, one of which is 16 floors up! The building itself was completed last November and planting of the green areas started in the spring and was finished in late June, costing around £1 million and even extending to planting trees.
