Now that this is Under Construction I thought it desrved it's own thread. 140m tower with a shorter 98m neighbour and two smaller buildings each 8 floors U/C in Canary Wharf, pushing the resi boom in the area along with Pan Peninsula (147m), Baltimore Wharf (131m) and some smaller schemes nearby.

This is also close to the 236m and 186m Riverside South Towers which are active on site.

Thanks for starting the thread! It was about time it had one here. I look forward to seeing this built, should give an extra amount of density in Canary Wharf :)

Wow! Nice project!

I think that London and Milan are the two most booming european cities now.

I'd say Moscow is pretty high on the list too;)

Yeah, my list, in order of U/C and Approved projects, is:

1-London
2- Milan
3- Moscow
4- Madrid
5- Liverpool
6- Frankfurt
7- Warsaw

Rotterdam/Paris?

BTW a nice scheme which should bulk yp the residential half of CW, it really is becoming an island of it's own.

Hadn't even heard of this project! Amazing how a 140m highrise goes almost unnoticed in London these days.

It looks like a nice filler. Got a render of the new deisgn?

The top render is of the new design at 140m, the one below is of the older, 136m design:) I posted the older one because the change isn't that huge, so it still gives a good idea of how the towers will look:)

Wow! Looks like a great project to me. London is doing well these days.

Nice towers. Good for the density there. :)

Yeah, my list, in order of U/C and Approved projects, is:

1-London
2- Milan
3- Moscow
4- Madrid

nice apartment building..i really like the cladding ,looks to be of high quality. Its nice to see that London has some new apartment highrises going up,and i think this one and Pan peninsula tower really look good! lets hope for more apartment highrises in London and Europe generally, but this is definetily a good start.

Canary wharf is possibly the worst skyline in the world.Just look at it!!Pathetic

strongly disagree with you

1.) London has a great skyline
2.)how tall is the core now ? from tower 1 and 2 !!!

Canary Wharf's skyline really isn't great, but it's far from pathetic. By European standars it's very good.

And considering there are plans for there to be 40+ 100m+ towers there in under 10 years time, it is going to start looking very impressive, a real mini-manhattan in London to complement the even better City Cluster.

1.) London has a great skyline
2.)how tall is the core now ? from tower 1 and 2 !!!

We aren't sure, but the shorter one is nearly done. I'd guess at 23 or 24 floors out of 30.

It should be topped out in a few weeks, and then we can focus on the taller 44 floor one:)

:ohno:^^:ohno:^^:ohno:

:bash: the only thing that is pathetic is you :bash:

Wel it certainly aint as pathetic as swindon thats for sure!
But i would consider it to quite bland in the context of skylines around the world.Its just plain boxes.

great news :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Dude everyone is entitled to there opinion but can you tell us why you don't like it?

gosh it seems to be going up fast

This has risen quite a lot now. The shorter tower is close to full height, while the taller tower (currently the shorter one) is about half way. Progress update:

Wow...Canary Wharf is getting very dense! It may not have the most innovative-looking skyscrapers on earth, but it's starting to make up for it with a) density and b) the waterfront location. I'd like to see Canary Wharf get one outstanding supertall, eventually.

Canary Wharf is not pathetic.

As stated it is good for a european country, but compared to America..

Wow, Excellent updates :) What is completion date?

Canary Wharf is not pathetic.

As stated it is good for a european country, but compared to America..

But in most American cities with the exception of NY, Chicago and a few others, thats all there is to them.... whilst Canary Wharf is just a tiny part of London.

I'd like to see Canary Wharf get one outstanding supertall, eventually.

Unless they close the London City Airport, there wont be any supertall in CW, aviation rules means that a max height rule of upto about 250m is in place.

But even a really slender resi tower closer to the river and around 700ft would totally change Canary Wharf for the better. Most of the blocks at the moment are pretty bulky but something more slender would change the look of the cluster.

For instance the new Norman Foster one which is to be unveiled next week;)

Edit: ^^ Or maybe today!:eek:

But even a curvy, slender resi tower closer to the river and around 700ft would totally change Canary Wharf for the better. Most of the blocks at the moment are pretty bulky but something more slender would change the look of the cluster.

For instance the new Norman Foster one which is to be unveiled next week;)

Im not a big fan of residentails in CW, they are too small. Look at Pan Peninsula, nearly 150m, yet because of the smaller floorplates and ceiling heights, from a distance, it looks almost lost amongst the office towers.

I think it will be better once there are more resi's built. Like that one;)

Just look at how many there are on the cards now. Once the economy starts picking up again, I think we will see lots starting. Wood Wharf should integrate residentials very well.

:okay::cheers1:wow, great update

great update indeed! :cheers:

Looks good.

Foster is coming out with a new tower.... :(

Nice!! I like that it will add to the density there. The whole are is getting really substantial.

Ahhhhhhhhh good old british clouds.

Nice to see some great new towers in London :cheers: Any idea of the completion date?

^^ Heheh its not a authentic London pic unless its cloudy :lol:

What's the average height of the sorrounding highrises of the boxy-cluster (:D) U/C? 150 mt?

^^the surrounding buildings are between 150 - 235m

First picture is magic, I really like the London skyline. Does anyone know if there is another high rise proposed in this cluster? ^^

there are several towers planned within the cluster - most of them of a higher quality design than the current crop - the ones most likely to go ahead at the moment are Riverside South (see the blue and yellow cranes in the foreground of the pics above -and a close up below) - the basement works are well advanced and it has been recently announced that JP Morgan will move their European Headquaters there - 2 towers 236m/189m | 45/37 fl

http://homepage.mac.com/benveasey/.Public/CONSTRUCTION.JPG

the thread..http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=408716&page=6

there are also several apartment towers planned - the yellow cranes to the right on the pics above are currently constructing apartment buildings the tallest of which is around 24 floors

Thanks for the info chest!!! ^^

There's also a pub right next door to the Landmark Towers that has had a 209m Norman Foster resi tower proposed on it in the last few weeks.

First picture is magic, I really like the London skyline. Does anyone know if there is another high rise proposed in this cluster? ^^

If you look at the Pic Chest posted, in this year alone a tower just under 200m has gone in for planning, along with an hotel/resi tower of 145m to the right of it with HQW (3 towers up to 200m) having been approved. Also, as mentioned a 209m resi/hotel tower for a site to the right of the picture. As well as the RS towers Chest outlined.

i love it... London has become a totally different because of Canary Wharf...

i wonder what will happen with those old low buildings in front...

does anyone have some old picture of CW... i suppose it looked like totally different 20 years ago:)

There would be nothing to see, just abandoned empty wharehouse's and docks....it was a wasteland....a remnant of the 1960's and 1970's decline.
