PROPERTY OVERVIEW
The Columbus Building has been comprehensively remodelled and redesigned to create 160,000 sq ft of Grade A office space across eight upper office floors. To complement the classic London feel of the building’s exterior architecture the contemporary interior materials including a signature art installation by Sophie Smallhorn on the ground floor, add a new dimension to this riverside location. The Columbus Building will offer one of the most attractive and dynamic working environments in Central London. It has been redesigned to make work flow effortlessly. Bright open spaces, a dual entrance reception, simple floorplates and the pared-back design will create an environment that attracts a wide range of businesses. The remodelled dual-access reception is framed by concrete and bronze mesh encased walls that provide a contemporary finish and a lasting impression. The reception will also benefit from its own dedicated lounge for tenants. The Canary Wharf Estate benefits from 300+ shops, bars and restaurants, an annual arts and events calendar of 100+ events, as well as the UK’s largest free outdoor art collection with over 110 pieces. Conveniently located, The City and West End are under 15 minutes from Canary Wharf. London City Airport is 15 minutes away and Heathrow can be reached in just 47 minutes (39 minutes once Crossrail is up and running). London Underground’s Jubilee line links you to the West End, London Bridge and Waterloo, while the DLR takes you to Bank and London City Airport in no time. Add in local buses and extensive cycle networks as well as over 300 Santander Cycles docking stations, and any journey is easy. Crossrail Place has also already opened and brought a new wave of shops and restaurants into the area. When train services begin, Crossrail will make travelling to and from Canary Wharf even easier and even faster. The new station will bring commuters into the heart of the area and will be linked to the Jubilee line, DLR, office buildings and shops by pedestrian walkways. Crossrail will provide fast, direct access to the City, West End, Heathrow and Reading to the west and Stratford, Shenfield and Woolwich to the east. In partnership with the Eden Project, Canary Wharf Group’s ambition is to become a global example of best practice and innovation on biodiversity in a dense urban environment, living and working in harmony with nature. The transformation of Middle Dock is the first step in implementing this vision through the creation of a green spine through the centre of the Estate with additional green public realm, parks and gardens, waterside access and performance spaces. The proposals animate the docks with new spaces for arts and culture, and for water sports such as paddle-boarding, open water swimming and kayaking. Anticipated completion of Middle Dock is Summer 2023

PROPERTY FACTS

ABOUT DOCKLANDS CORE
Canary Wharf is the UK’s pre-eminent banking hub. Its towers are home to a host of major global banks including HSBC, Barclays and Citigroup, all of whom moved here in the 1990s and early 2000s after Docklands was designated an enterprise zone. These banks support a thriving ecosystem of industries connected to financial services, including law firms, accountancy firms and public bodies. Companies moving here have been attracted by the area’s availability of large floor plates and its affordable rents when compared to the City of London. Indeed, office rents in Canary Wharf are, on average, 30% cheaper than in the City, increasing its appeal to potential occupiers.
The area is well-served by public transport, with good access to London City Airport and the City via the Docklands Light Railway and to the West End via the Jubilee Line. Connections improved yet further following the completion of the Elizabeth Line in 2022, which significantly reduced journey times to central London and Heathrow Airport. The Canary Wharf Group is actively developing areas like Wood Wharf to create a live-work-play environment as it seeks to diversify the occupier base beyond banking. Significant amounts of retail/leisure space already exist in Canary Wharf’s subterranean shopping centres and in the many bars and restaurants that line its waterfront locations.
Tower Hamlets has one of the fastest-growing populations in the UK. A swathe of new residential towers has supported population growth of 30% over the past decade, treble the London average. The borough’s population is projected to continue rising faster than the London average in the coming years, too, increasing both the area’s vibrancy and its pool of local workers.
