Canary Wharf Group (CWG) is the developer of the largest urban regeneration project in Europe. It develops, manages and owns interests in approximately 9 million sq. ft of mixed-use space and over 1,100 Build to Rent apartments.
Creating Canary Wharf’s original 97 acres from the once derelict London Docklands was Europe’s largest ever urban regeneration project. Over thirty years since work began, Canary Wharf is now firmly established as home to the headquarters of some of the world’s largest companies, as well as being one of London’s most renowned destinations for shopping, leisure and eating out.
As the Estate expands eastwards at Wood Wharf, a development site totalling nearly 6 million sq. ft that will provide over 3,300 new homes, 2 million sq. ft of high quality office space, and a further 390,000 sq. ft of shops, restaurants and community uses, the existing Estate also continues to evolve — whether that’s attracting a new generation of tech companies, incorporating the very latest ‘smart city’ technologies, heralding the arrival of Crossrail, or opening an ever-more diverse mix of places to shop, eat and relax.
It’s all here – CWG has created a 24/7 city where people can live, work and thrive on the Canary Wharf estate and enjoy all the benefits: great transport links, access to green spaces and waterside living; and a wider range of amenities including an award-winning arts and events programme. Canary Wharf’s retail offering comprises over 300 shops, including grocery stores, pharmacies, health clubs, bars and restaurants, all within a 15 minutes’ walk.
