Canary wharf property sale – rent

Canary Wharf is a large business and shopping development in East London, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, centered on the old West India Docks in the London Docklands. Canary Wharf contains the UK’s three tallest buildings: One Canada Square (sometimes known as the Canary Wharf Tower) followed by 8 Canada Square and the Citigroup Centre.
Construction of Canary Wharf began in 1988, with phase one completed in 1991. Phase two (1997 – 2002) of Canary Wharf consisted of the construction of the HSBC Tower and Citigroup Centre headquarters buildings, followed by Heron Quays. Approximately 14.1 million square feet of office and retail space has been constructed to date.
This industrial estate extends to over 97 acres. Canary wharf is so called because when in use as a dock, many of the imports were from the Canary Islands. The first tenants moved into Canary Wharf in August 1991 and now 80,000 people work in the area.
Canary Wharf apartments have gained its name as being some of the most desirable high-rise corporate apartments in London. These flats benefit with luxury facilities, ie. gyms, swimming pools, underground parking, and 24-hour hotel style concierge.
Increasingly the area is becoming a shopping destination, particularly with the opening of the Jubilee Place shopping centre in 2004. Canary wharf has also gained more tenants from the public sector including the Financial Services Authority and 2012 Olympic Games organisers LOCOG and the ODA.
