Prior to construction of Nido, the plot at 100 Middlesex Street was occupied by a 1960-built office building, Rodwell House, which comprised an 8-storey block oriented north-south, surrounded by a single-storey office podium.
In 2015, Nido Spitalfields was purchased by Greystar Real Estate Partners, parent company of the student accommodation company, Chapter.[4] Other Chapter buildings in London are located in the King's Cross area[5] and Portobello.[6]
The tower appears in the Doctor Who episode "The Wedding of River Song".[citation needed]
