A new 40-story residential tower will go up on London’s City Road, which is undergoing a mini construction boom, Construction Enquirer reports.
The Rocket Investments-developed Atlas Building, as the multifamily development will be named, resembles a series of blades stacked neatly on top of each other.

In addition to the residential tower is a public piazza and retail and dining space. The project is due for completion at the end of 2018.
