Tide has completed what is understood to be the largest volumetric modular tower in Europe.

The modular developer has finished work on its College Road scheme near East Croydon train station in south London. The scheme comprises two buildings: a 50-storey build-to-rent development with 817 one-bed and studio apartments, and a 35-storey building providing 120 affordable homes. 

At 163 metres, the scheme is higher than Tide’s 135m high Ten Degrees build-to-rent development built in 2018, also in Croydon. The build-to-rent part of the scheme completed in partnership with real estate firm Outpost Management and funded by Oaktree Capital Management.
