South Quay skyscrapers get the green light

14th November 2014

Tower Hamlets’ Strategic Planning Committee has given its approval to three residential towers at South Quay, near Canary Wharf, meaning 1,644 new homes will soon be coming to the area. Councillors gave the green light to the 220m-high South Quay Plaza scheme, which will create 888 apartments across two towers, one of 68 floors and the other of 36. They also backed the Arrowhead Quay development – two towers of 55 and 50 storeys, containing 756 homes. However, plans for Quay House, a 233m-high tower, were rejected on the grounds that the site is in danger of overdevelopment.
