ROOFTOP BAR WITH OWN ELEVATOR NOW PART OF U.K. TOWER PLAN

A rooftop champagne bar with a dedicated elevator has been incorporated into High Street Group's Hadrian's Tower, which, at 27 stories, will be the tallest building in Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K., ChronicleLive reports. Designed by FaulknerBrowns, the Rutherford Street tower will have 162 apartments and is set to open in 2020. Approximately half of the units have been sold to overseas investors. High Street is planning events to market the apartments to local buyers. The Laurent-Perrier-branded bar will be open to the public year-round, and the development is expected to incorporate communal areas and high-tech features such as apps residents can use to accomplish tasks, such as hire a car or book a restaurant.
