Coin Street Community Builders (CSCB) is a development trust and social enterprise based on the South Bank of the River Thames between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge in London, England.
[edit] History
Since its creation in 1984, CSCB has been involved in the redevelopment of the OXO Tower, Gabriel's Wharf market and the setting up of four housing co-operatives (Mulberry, Palm, Redwood and Iroko). The housing co-operatives are housed in new buildings commissioned by CSCB. Palm (also known as Broadwall) was designed by Lifschutz Davidson (now Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands) completed in 1994. Iroko was designed by architects Haworth Tompkins and was completed in 2001.
In 2007, CSCB occupied new offices in The Coin Street neighbourhood centre, also designed by Haworth Tompkins. As well as offices the building includes a day nursery and crèche, conference and meeting facilities and a neighbourhood café.
