A bit of an unusual high rise subject, one undergoing a conversion from office space to luxury apartments...Built by property tycoon Harry Hyams in 1966, the Centre Point high-rise stands at the cross-section of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street in London. After completion it stood empty as the owners tried unsuccessfully to find a single tenant willing to pay the money take it on, and squatters moved in briefly to demonstrate against its residential areas remaining empty when London was in the grip of a housing crisis. Eventually let, it changed hands several times over the years. Now it will be turned into 82 one- to five- bedroom apartments boasting pool, spa and fitness facilities, as well as views over the west end.
