Opus

Rising 50 storeys above the River Thames, Opus is the first residential building within Bankside Yards, the wider mixed-use district that is reshaping this part of London’s South Bank. Designed as a new model for urban living, the tower brings together 249 homes, exceptional views and a broad suite of resident amenities within a highly connected and culturally rich setting, close to landmarks including Tate Modern, Blackfriars Bridge and the South Bank’s wider cultural mile.

As part of the UK’s first major fossil fuel-free mixed-use development, Opus is designed to support a more environmentally conscious form of city living. The building is all-electric, net zero in operation and connected to Bankside Yards’ pioneering fifth-generation energy-sharing network, which allows energy to be exchanged across different uses within the district. Passive design strategies and high-performance façade systems also help reduce energy demand while improving comfort and natural light throughout the homes.

Beyond the residences themselves, Opus is shaped around a lifestyle offer that extends living well beyond the apartment. Wellness, recreation and social spaces are integrated throughout the building and the wider neighbourhood, including a hydrotherapy and current pool, padel court, co-working spaces, art and podcast studios, landscaped garden rooms and a private residents’ club overlooking London. Together, these amenities create a more connected and future-facing residential experience rooted in wellbeing, culture and everyday convenience.

Positioned between the river, the city and the wider public realm of Bankside Yards, Opus is conceived not simply as a residential tower, but as part of a new mixed-use neighbourhood where living, culture and urban life come together in a more integrated way.
