Overview
Vantage Point (formerly Archway Tower) is a 195-foot (59m) 17-storey residential apartment building above Archway Underground station, designed by Grid Architects, and owned and operated by Essential Living.
History
Archway Tower was built in 1963, by Cubitts. In 1967, the building was sold off and rented back on a 42-year lease and used for Social Security. The building was empty for several years before becoming home to the Public Guardianship Office in 2001, which became the Court of Protection and the Office of the Public Guardian in 2007. In October 2007, the tower was sold by Wichford plc to Scarborough Property Group. The Court and the Office of the Public Guardian vacated the building in 2011.
After sitting vacant for 2 years, Essential Living purchased Archway Tower in 2013 for £6 million, with plans to make the building "one of the country’s biggest office to residential conversions".
