A parcel near Barbican’s Cromwell Tower is up for sale with planning permission granted to convert it into residential space.
Originally earmarked for a commercial unit that never came to fruition, the lot has been empty since the estate’s construction and still has unfinished concrete floors.
Land Registry documents show retired solicitor Christian Keesing bought the site for £200,000 (US$225,268) in 2010 from the City of London Corporation. Currently listed with The Modern House and Savills for £3.5 million (US$4 million) it comes with a blueprint, due to a collaboration between 6a Architects and Sanchez Benton.
The leaseholder will remain the City of London Corporation along with the remainder of the estate.
