PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This 3.5 Acre site is situated at the intersection of Marsh Wall and Limeharbour, neighbouring Canary Wharf. The proposed mix-used development is to have 7 buildings ranging 12 storeys to 55 storeys. The site is accessible from at least 3 sides; Marsh Wall, Limeharbour and a rear access from Aste Street. Surrounded by significant landmarks, in proximity to the Canary Wharf development, which has the second highest concentration of high-rise office and residential buildings in London after Central London CBD. In recent years, there’s a growing demand for High-end housing in Canary Wharf. The proposed project is expected to be a vibrant residential based mixed-use project including branded hospitality & flexi-offices.

Key Aspects of Project Activities:

Strategic Planning & Site Optimisation

Conceptualised a high-density mixed-use scheme on a 3.5-acre freehold site with ~1,000 ft of frontage (Marsh Wall & Limeharbour).
Maximised commercial exposure and urban integration through a 7-tower masterplan (12–55 storeys) comprising residential, hospitality, retail, and flexi-office assets.

Product Mix & Commercial Strategy
Developed a commercially driven product mix aligned with market trends:

Premium residential with skyline views
Flexi-office / serviced apartments
Dual-exposure retail & F&B along high-footfall frontages
Centrally located 4-star branded hotel with shared amenity function
Planned independent access and servicing for each component to enable targeted branding, standalone functionality, and distinct stakeholder engagement.

Phased Implementation & Progressive Monetisation
Structured the project into two primary phases with optional sub-phasing, enabling:

Staggered capital expenditure aligned with delivery and market timing
Early handover and revenue generation from Phase 1 assets
Rolling monetisation of development through progressive asset delivery
Flexible entry points for multiple JV stakeholders at various stages

Affordable Housing Strategy

Integrated 35% affordable housing into distinct, self-accessed blocks, balancing planning compliance with optimisation of premium residential value and branding.

Investor & Operator Participation Framework
Enabled multi-stakeholder involvement through:

Institutional equity for residential and retail
Operator-led structures for hotel and flexi-office
Independent JV models for each asset class and phase

Value Creation & Delivery Assurance

Positioned the development as a commercially viable, vibrant lifestyle-integrated urban district, rooted in deliverability, phasing discipline, and financial flexibility, establishing Skylines as a future-defining project within the Canary Wharf corridor.
