Canary Wharf Group has secured detailed planning consent from Tower Hamlets council for the first residential tower at the estate’s new phase, formerly known as Wood Wharf.
The 57-storey building, designed by Herzog & De Meuron, will comprise 468 flats ranging from studios to large three-bedroom family homes.
It will occupy a prominent site on the waterfront on the edge of South Dock, directly to the east of the existing Canary Wharf estate, E14.
Sir George Iacobescu, chairman and chief executive of Canary Wharf Group, said: “This decision is a major step in the progression of the new phase, a development that will broaden and extend the Canary Wharf estate, adding to its vibrancy and continually expanding cultural, community and commercial offer.”
