North Quay in Canary Wharf site plans submitted

Canary Wharf Group has set out plans for a 3.8 million sq ft (Gross Internal Area) development on the North Quay site at Canary Wharf and have submitted them to the local planning authority, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The site, which is adjacent to Crossrail’s new Elizabeth Line station on the north side of Canary Wharf, will accommodate up to 2.5 million sq ft of commercial office space and up to 1.6 million sqf t of residential space.

Sir George Iacobescu CBE, Executive Chairman of Canary Wharf Group, said: “North Quay is a unique location and one of the largest single development sites in London.  Our plans offer a great new place to work and to live, with extensive public realm, high-quality retail, and new connections, next to a brand new railway station.

“This will be a fantastic addition to the Canary Wharf estate and offer an exceptional environment for a range of occupiers and sectors including health and life sciences, technology, media, financial or business services organisations.”

North Quay is the largest undeveloped site remaining at Canary Wharf and one of the largest development sites in London. New public realm in the form of streets and squares will be at the heart of the scheme creating connections between Canary Wharf and South Poplar and integrating with the key transport hubs of the Elizabeth Line and DLR.

Previously inaccessible dockside will form the backbone of the design providing a 250-metre-long east-west waterside promenade. The flexible framework will enable a campus of buildings with a mix of uses, integrated with ground level amenities, retail and open space.

The flexible framework set out in the planning application includes options for between 1.6 and 2.5 million sq ft of business space, up to 1.6 million sq ft of residential apartments and up to 640,000 sq ft of retail/leisure/community uses. Other options for uses on site include student housing, hotels and serviced apartments and co-living space.

Jason Syrett, Partner of Allies and Morrison, said: “The masterplan for North Quay is structured around making connections; from South Poplar to Canary Wharf north-south and from West India Quay through to Billingsgate west-east, reactivating the north quayside of the old West India Import Dock.”
