IYLO is a stunning creation that is set to become an instantly-recognisable addition to Croydon’s northern skyline when it is finished in Summer 2009. This spectacular 20 storey glass-clad elliptical tower is an architectural first, with two equal halves which appear to be ‘sliding past’ each other.

When completed, IYLO will provide 174 private executive-standard apartments of approximately 850 square feet each, plus 11 distinctive luxury penthouse apartments. This landmark building has been created without compromise and is one of the largest residential developments under construction in Croydon, setting a new standard for urban living in the city.

As you would expect, IYLO is a carbon-efficient development with environmentally-sound credentials. Over 50% of the site will feature hard and soft planting, and the central green space will create clean air which will help to remove airborne toxins and will also reduce the negative effects of this ‘urban heat’ island.

Investors may also be interested to know that the Borough Council, its partners in industry and the community are working together to establish Croydon as London’s ‘third city’. New leisure centres, offices and shopping centres are being built - as well as new transport links, including the much-anticipated East London Line extension. This will make Croydon part of the London Tube Network when it is completed in 2010, after which time the nearest tube station will be just four minutes walk from IYLO’s doorstep.
