One Nine Elms is an mixed-use skyscraper scheme currently under construction in Vauxhall, London developed by Dalian Wanda and designed by architects Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF). The development will replace two towers on the site built in the 1970s called Market Towers and forms part of a wider redevelopment of the Nine Elms area of London. As well as residential apartments, the scheme will include a luxury hotel.

History
Original proposal
In 2008, property developer Green Property bought the One Nine Elms Lane site, which lies in Vauxhall just south of the River Thames within the London borough of Wandsworth, from Allied Irish Bank.[1]
On 18 June 2012, Wandsworth Council granted planning permission to Green Property along with project managers CIT Group for a mixed-use scheme consisting of residential apartments, offices and shops to replace two 1970s buildings on the site known as the Market Towers. The approved proposals included two skyscrapers of 200 m (656 ft) and 161 m (528 ft).[2]
Sale and design development
In June 2013, Green Property sold the One Nine Elms site to Chinese developer Dalian Wanda.[3]
In April 2014, Wandsworth Council approved revisions for the scheme subject to support from former London Mayor Boris Johnson.[4] In May 2014, Johnson gave permission for the revised proposals to go ahead despite criticism of the removal of office space from the scheme[4] in order to accommodate a larger hotel which will be Dalian Wanda's first luxury hotel outside of China.[3] A total of 436 residential apartments will also be built.[5] Additionally, the design for One Nine Elms was revised which included the scrapping of a skybridge linking the two towers.[6]
The larger of the two skyscrapers will be known as City Tower and will reach a height of 199.9 m (656 ft), containing 58 floors.[7] The smaller building, which will be known as River Tower and contain the hotel,[5] will be 161 m (528 ft) tall with 43 floors.[8]
As part of the scheme, Dalian Wanda are required to pay £20m to contribute to the London Underground extension of the Northern Line and for affordable housing which will be built in another location.[4]
One Nine Elms is Dalian Wanda's first development outside of China.[3]
Wider regeneration
The construction of One Nine Elms is part of a wider redevelopment of the Nine Elms area of London which will include 16,000 new homes as well as the relocation of the U.S. Embassy in London from Grosvenor Square, Mayfair.[9]
Construction
Construction started after the demolition of the Market Towers which began in 2014 by McGee Group.[10]
In April 2015, it was announced that Dalian Wanda had awarded the main contract for One Nine Elms to China's largest construction group China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) as well as Interserve in a join venture known as CI-ONE.[11]
Construction of One Nine Elms is expected to be completed in 2018.[12]

1 Nine Elms Lane, in the London borough of Wandsworth. The nearest station is Vauxhall.
