Hi All
I know there's a thread for 22 Marsh Wall but I can't find it...this is the development on the Isle of Dogs next to the City Pride pub, which got planning permission a couple of months ago. It consists of (if my memory serves me well...) a 40 storey residential tower and a 25 storey tower. Web site link follows...
Anyway...the news! I went passed the site on the bus this morning and they have started to put hordings around the existing warehouses (which I actually quite like!) - looks like they might be getting ready for demolition and construction! This means, with Pan peninsula and crossharbur there will be 3 residential towers over 40 storeys rising on the island very soon...
Notes:
A pair of major new residential towers for the Docklands, located on the south-western edge of the cluster, near the Thames.
Completion is scheduled for 2008. They will be a short walk from the planned 3 million sq ft office development, Riverside South.
As of March 2007, more than a third of the 276 luxury apartments have been sold. Restaurants, cafes and shops will occupy
the ground and 1st floors, within a glass-covered piazza. A 24 hour concierge and resident's gymnasium are among the development's
many other features.
I said they would start by the end of 2006. Nobody believed me
Are you sure its the right site as there was a story in the wharf the other week about a pub being demolished in that area but it was established it was on a site nearby to the marsh wall site.

It definately is the Marsh Wall site - the pub that's being demolished (the heron) is on a seperate site across the road - lots of activity...I like it!
awesome, so that makes 5 towers then really, two for marshwall, two for millharbour and one at cross harbour. Plus probably like a gazillion more mid like abilty place, elektron, churchill and all that noise. dense dude. dense.
plus, its wierd how small they look in models and renders, when really 140 meters is pretty damn high. or is it only me that thinks that they look a bit dumpy in the renders?

given the popularity of pan peninsula youd be stupid not to start marketing these. the person who bought the development will make a fortune as these things will sell like hotcakes. interestingly, the shorter the building in canary wharf area the longer flats in it take to sell, if you want to sell out then design and build tall. this lot plus pan peninsula will really establish canary wharf in the eyes of many.
This is beautiful news. I kept on ignoring this thread thinking it was a groundscraper. Shame on me.
Brilliant news. 147m sounds like a brilliant height. As Gothic said, they will indeed sell like hotcakes. However, simply judging from what i've seen i'd rather live in Pan Peninsula than the Marsh Wall's (Someone give me the money first! )
Looks like i'll be reporting on these tomarrow too. Does anyone know where abouts they are in relation to One Canada Square. Is it near Pan Peninsula at all? (I'll take piccies tomarrow if I can find it)
Bearing in mind, this will appear much closer to the river than the rest of Canary Wharf, it should therefore be very prominent from the west and will have quite a major impact in this view -
Blimey...... I drove past only the other day and remarked to my Missus that to big resis were earmarked for the site.... but nothing visable was going on .. sounds like bloody good news
The whole site is now hoarded off (went passed this morning) - old warehouses and 70's warehouses - this is definately happening! Yay!
