Will the new council have any thoughts on this?  What was in the S106 deal?

I think they've conflated Tottenham with Walthamstow in their photo. At least there is no way to get a view of both the Lea Valley and the City of London from Tottenham. For those interested, British Airways flight 31 to Hong Kong leaves from Heathrow at 18:40 tonight and tickets there, coming back Monday, are £538 return):

Rise at Lock17 is estimated to complete in the first half of 2020. The first residences will shortly be available for Hong Kong property buyers looking to live or invest in this up-and-coming district, with prices starting from £305,000 (approximately HK$3.23 million).

Exhibition details

Date: 2–3 June 2018 (Sat-Sun)

Time: 11am–7pm

Venue: Tian & Di Room, 7/F, Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel, 15 Queen's Road Central, Central, Hong Kong

At present you can certainly see the Shard from the River Lee and Tottenham marshes. And practically anywhere else. (If it wasn't for the 'ouses in between.)

And if these "iconic", "idyllic", memetic, symphonic, and tectonic developments are high enough, then who knows what you might glimpse?  Provided of course that you get the right atmospheric, sardonic, synchronic and platonic, conditions and spend a long time watching from your lonely concrete tower.  If you know where to look among the garbage and the flowers, there are heroes in the seaweed.

Though it's not actually seaweed but probably duck weed and pennywort.  With a smattering of sewage fungus from the regular sewage discharges into the river, from its tributaries, and misconnected plumbing.

As is obvious, I haven't yet got the hang of the wonderful whimsical style for brochures required to persuade rich investors to part frantically with their cash.  But with a teensy more practice I'll soon be stringing together some vacuous regenero-burble about "fashionable", "transformed", "affordable" "havens" "just five minutes walk" from "award winning"  let's-get-out-of-here roads, rail, and bus amenities.

Great news.  Hopefully the new council will be competent and open minded enough to make the overseas cash, the government support for Tottenham, the hipsterdom roaring up the A10 and the spurs development work for everyone.

Of course!
When overseas investors "flip" their property or otherwise cash-in their investments, most of the profit goes immediately and directly to Haringey Council and to local residents. Often in the form of squillians of new jobs and gazillions of dollars/gilders/Freedonian Pesos/and Ruritanian florins pouring into the local economy.

The Roaring Twenties nearly here. All over again.

That’s exactly the sort of boundless positivity that Haringey needs :D

Homes 'built for Londoners' being marketed by global real estate agents with a single incentive: to sell as fast as possible at the highest price.  Wonder if any any Tottenham / Harringay estate agents been signed up for this gig.
