There's a lot of residential in these shots, too. Commercial skyscrapers are more "visible" but there's also plenty of residential being built. Now, it's not affordable and probably outside of most people's means, but it's there and making useless areas like Nine Elms somewhat of hot spots – not everybody's cuppa tea for sure, but some do like it for whatever reason(s).

Interest rates isn't the only input. Arguably population growth and regulation are more important than interest rates.
