The scheme will expand the Canary Wharf with the addition of 30 new buildings and extend its appeal as a mixed use working and living urban district. Completion of the first phase of the development will coincide with the arrival in 2018 of Crossrail.

The new Canary Wharf neighbourhood will provide a net 2.6m sq ft (3.4m sq ft gross) of residential, including 3,100 new homes, ranging from park-side townhouses to outstanding high-rise buildings designed by some of the world’s most renowned architects. The neighbourhood will include a mix of private, intermediate and social housing as well as provide a network of high-quality parks and public squares with around 9 acres of interconnected public spaces, including a kilometre of dock-edge walkways.
It also includes a new 420 place primary school, a NHS medical centre, a Community Centre, a hotel and more than 100 new high street shops, restaurants and cafes.
