Wood Wharf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wood Wharf is a redevelopment project on the Isle of Dogs in the Docklands of London, England.

Wood Wharf occupies a 20 acre (81,000 m²) site immediately to the east of Canary Wharf. The site was once part of the West India Docks. Presently parts of it are occupied by low rise light industrial premises and the remainder is vacant or derelict. It belongs to British Waterways.

The masterplan proposal is for a mixed use development, including buildings of up to thirty-five stories. It would have 3,500,000 square feet (325,000 m²) of office space and around 1,500 homes. The office space would effectively be a seamless expansion of the Canary Wharf business district, albeit not officially part of the Canary Wharf estate.

The masterplan was approved by Tower Hamlets Council in 2003. During 2004 British Waterways held a competition to select a development partner for the project. In 2005 a consortium of the Canary Wharf Group and Ballymore Properties were chosen as the preferred partner. In July 2005 the consortium began putting together its development team.

A new masterplan is expected to be presented during 2007.

In November 2007, a new masterplan was unveiled, by Roger Stirk Harbour + Partners. The official Wood Wharf website was updated. The new masterplan shows considerably higher density, as well as more towers, which are also taller then the previous ones. The next step is to find different architects to design each individual building. The developers want at least one iconic residential, and one iconic office tower as part of the project.

The new masterplan also contains a high street, which will run up the middle of the site. This will host bars, shops, cafes and restaurants. This will be covered by a glass snake-skin type roof.
