Canary Wharf Group (CWG) has secured planning approval from Tower Hamlets Council to construct a 58-storey residential tower on the London Docklands site in the UK.

CWG said the apartments will be 11ft ‘floor-to-floor’, allowing for greater ceiling heights than those at other residential towers in the surrounding area.
Plans also feature 14,360ft² of retail space, 36,300ft² of external and 16,000ft² of internal amenity space, which will include a health club and spa.
Designed by Horden Cherry Lee Architects, Newfoundland’s facade will be a diamond design that provides views of the surrounding streets and buildings, enhanced by the facility’s waterfront location at the western end of West India Middle Dock.

CWG said the development is part of the on-going diversification of its portfolio, which has seen it move both beyond the estate with joint ventures at 20 Fenchurch Street and the Shell Centre.
