Canary Wharf Group resi skyscraper major plans have been revealed, with the residential tower set to rise at the London Docklands estate western end. The build to rent park Place which is to be built by Canary Wharf Contractors, was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and will rise to 55 storeys. It will be three floors lower than the neighbouring Newfoundland residential tower which is at 58 storeys.
There will be a workspace near the new waterside public square, a four-floor mixed-use pavilion with shops and restaurants from were the slender high rise will start.
The Canary Wharf Group resi skyscraper site is already vacant but was earlier occupied by a 1980s building, which contained the former HQ of Littlejohn Frazer offices.
The Park Place site has been the subject of a number of different planning consents, all office-led schemes, the latest being for the 624 homes specifically made for rent only. It will consist both market rent and affordable homes. Planning permission brought the decision to start enabling works on the Canary Wharf Group resi skyscraper in 2023, building fit-out is set for 2025 and handed over in 2028.
