Saffron Square (formerly known as "Wellesley Square") is a town square and high-rise building in Croydon, United Kingdom being developed by Berkeley Homes. Planning permission for the tower was given in April 2008. The site, on main Croydon thoroughfare Wellesley Road, had lain fallow for over ten years. The project aimed to start in 2008 with completion in 2012, however, construction started in 2011. By June 2013, the tower's construction was well underway with its final completion expected in 2015. As of early 2014, a large part of the project had been completed. Upon completion, Saffron Square would be the tallest residential tower in Croydon, with 414 private apartments and penthouses. The vision is to deliver a mixed-use development.
