Newfoundland

Newfoundland stands on the Isle of Dogs in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is a 220-metre residential skyscraper between Westferry Road and Bank Street in Canary Wharf. The building links a 58-storey tower with a two-storey structure for shops and parking. Architects Horden Cherry Lee and engineers WSP Global designed it. Construction began after South Quay Properties submitted plans in June 2013. The tower opened for rent in May 2021. It is worth the journey for its record height and design. At 220 metres, it is the tallest build-to-rent building in the United Kingdom. Its diamond-pattern steel exoskeleton gives it a striking appearance. The tower is also the first residential building on Canary Wharf’s private estate. Its position on the Thames and Middle Dock makes it highly visible. It faces the main exit of Canary Wharf Jubilee line station across the dock. Visitors find a modern residential tower with retail space at its base. The steel exoskeleton creates a distinctive pattern on the exterior. The building overlooks the river Thames and Middle Dock. It is part of Canary Wharf’s skyline of commercial towers. The area around it includes West India Docks and nearby transport links. The design has won awards for exterior and build-to-rent categories.
