The Canary Wharf Group’s plans for a new purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme at 7 Brannan Street in Wood Wharf have been approved by the Greater London Authority.

The 46-storey building will deliver 912 bedrooms and includes a host of amenity, communal, and leisure spaces at ground, mezzanine, ninth and roof levels complemented by a new ground floor retail offer and two new high-quality waterside public gardens.

Tom Venner, Chief Development Officer for Canary Wharf Group, said: “7 Brannan Street will be a fantastic addition to the diverse range of residential offerings at Canary Wharf. We are already home to world-leading education and learning facilities, including the UCL School of Management operating from One Canada Square. This building will help meet the demand for modern, high-quality accommodation located within a metropolitan environment offering a rich mix of retail, leisure, hospitality and green spaces for students to enjoy.”
