Design
Pan Peninsula consists of two towers—the taller East tower is {{convert|148|m|abbr=on}} and 48 storeys, surpassing the towers of the Barbican Estate and one of three joint 44th-tallest buildings in London as of March 2023. The shorter West tower is {{convert|122|m|abbr=on}} and 38 storeys tall.{{Cite web |url=https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/complex/920 |title=Skyscraper Center |website=Skyscraper Center |access-date=2 March 2023}}
The East tower was topped-out in September 2007. Both buildings were completed in 2008, with the first residents moving in from early 2009.{{Cite web |url=https://www.pan-peninsula.com/residents-association/ |title=Residents Association |website=Pan-Peninsula.com |access-date=2 March 2023}}
The project was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and was developed by Irish property firm Ballymore.{{Cite news |last=Dovkants |first=Keith |date=2 October 2008 |title=Credit Crunch Towers |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/credit-crunch-towers-6814930.html |newspaper=Evening Standard |language=en |access-date=2 March 2023}}
The towers are connected by a reception area containing a concierge foyer, multi-floor gym, private cinema and terraced restaurant. The 48th floor of the East tower houses a cocktail bar which is open to residents and their guests.{{Cite web |url=https://www.ballymoregroup.com/project/detail/pan-peninsula |title=Pan Peninsula |website=Ballymore Group |access-date=2 March 2023}} The tops of the towers have been designed to resemble lanterns, providing strong LED lighting features that are very visible on the skyline and gradually change colour.
Apartments
The West Tower contains 430 units, while the East Tower houses 356 units. The towers house mainly two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio apartments, all containing balconies. The studio apartments are relatively small, containing storage space in the majority of the finished walls, and a fold-up bed that locks into the wall space, creating a dining room environment. In 2006, the penthouse was sold for £7 million.
