Acting as a sister tower to our Madison Building, which is due to complete in 2020, it was designed to establish an intermediate scale between the taller Canary Wharf cluster to the north and other tall buildings to the south.
It incorporates a nursery, retail and external play areas as well as, in contribution with other proposals for the area, improving permeability and better access to the waterfront.
Represented by Forsters, Cubitt’s proposals were taken to public inquiry following the 2017 decision by LB Tower Hamlets strategic development committee to reject councillors advice and decline consent.
The planning inspectorate report stated: “The building has been designed to an exemplary standard, making a significant new place and improving the quality of the Isle of Dogs cluster.
“A built development of this quality, seen in conjunction with the Madison tower ‘bookending’ a public park, would create an identifiably distinct place, making a major contribution to the character and quality of the Marsh Wall street scene. The tower would be an attractive feature of the local area.”

Frank Filskow lead architect said: “At a time when it is agreed that more homes need to be built, that provide amenities and community benefits, we are delighted with this result. This is the first time we have used Virtual Reality to help the inspector assess the scheme on site and it made a real difference.
This will make a great sister building to The Madison which we also designed for LBS Properties and fits with the wider masterplan for the area, delivering wider benefits for the community including a nursery and retail.”
Nick Crawford, Managing Director at LBS Properties, said: “We are delighted to have received planning permission for this significant development, that will provide high-quality new homes, commercial space, and extensive public realm, contributing to the evolution of the South Quay area as an attractive place to live and work. It will combine with The Madison, due to complete in 2020, to provide a new public square for Marsh Wall East, and over 750 new homes in two slender towers.”
Victoria Du Croz, Head of Planning, Forsters said: “This is an excellent result for LBS Properties and Forsters was delighted to have been part of the consultant scheme. We look forward to seeing work start on this high quality scheme which will deliver much needed housing and public realm”.
