The Newfoundland Quay is a 220-metre (720 ft) residential skyscraper currently under development on the Isle of Dogs, London.
South Quay Properties, Ltd., a subsidiary of Canary Wharf Group, submitted a planning application to Tower Hamlets in June 2013 for the erection of a 58-storey and linked 2-storey building for residential use, along with some retail uses and car parking at a location bounded by Park Place, Westferry Road and Heron Quay Road.
The building was designed by architects Horden Cherry Lee and WSP structural engineers and is estimated to be completed in 2019.
Newfoundland, also known as "The Diamond Tower", is a build-to-rent development in Canary Wharf, London E14.
The 58-storey building on the Newfoundland site will comprise 636 new apartments for rent.
The apartments will span 11ft in height ‘floor-to-floor', allowing for higher floor-to-ceiling heights than those at other residential towers planned in the surrounding area.
There will also be 14,360 sq ft of retail space; as well as 36,300 sq ft of external and 16,000 sq ft of internal amenity space which will incorporate a health club and spa that will offer superb views of London.
The slim diamond shape of the tower is determined by the narrow footprint of the site. The building is supported and braced by the external dia-grid structure on the façade of the building along with numerous deep reinforced concrete piles penetrating deep into the chalk below.
In addition to the building on site, CWG will be providing the equivalent of approximately 280 affordable off-site housing units at Lovegrove Walk, Barchester Street and Burdett Road.
Newfoundland is situated on the Western side of the Canary Wharf estate and bound by Westferry Road to the West, Middle Dock to the East and Bank Street to the South.
