Landmark Pinnacle is a very tall building, called a skyscraper, in London, United Kingdom. It's still being built by a company called Chalegrove Properties. When it's finished, it will be the tallest building in Europe where people live, and it will have more floors for homes than any other building on the continent!

Before it was called Landmark Pinnacle, it was known as City Pride. That was the name of the old pub that used to be on this spot.

Building History

The land where Landmark Pinnacle stands used to have a pub called the City Pride. This pub closed down in 2012.

Different companies bought and sold the land over the years. In 2016, a large loan of £320 million was agreed upon to help pay for the building's construction.

Planning the Skyscraper

In December 2012, the company Chalegrove Properties asked the local council in Tower Hamlets for permission to build the skyscraper. They wanted to build a 75-floor tower with 822 homes and 162 serviced apartments.

The council gave permission on October 9, 2013. As part of the agreement, the developers had to pay over £5 million to Tower Hamlets. This money helps with things like local services.

Island Point Homes

At the same time, Chalegrove Properties also planned to build 173 homes at a nearby place called Island Point. This was connected to the Landmark Pinnacle project. These homes were meant to help meet the rules for providing affordable housing in the area.

The council also approved this plan on October 9, 2013. For this project, the developers agreed to pay over £4 million to Tower Hamlets. Part of this money, over £2.7 million, was specifically for improving schools and education in the area.
