Part of Phase Three of the larger Wood Wharf masterplan,[1] the building is being developed by the Canary Wharf Group. It was designed by the architecture firm KPF and rises to 178.6 metres (586 ft).[2]
The building was a finalist for the Net Zero Award at the Building Awards 2024, and a finalist at the New London Awards 2023.[3] It has won the Best Digital Transformation Award at the 2025 Building Innovation Awards.[4]
History
Planning
An original planning application was submitted in 2014,[5] with a tower height of 192 metres (630 ft).[6] An updated application was approved in February 2022.[7]
Construction
Construction began on the tower in 2022, with Canary Wharf Contractors overseeing the construction.[2] 40 Charter Street has an estimated completion date of February 2027.[8]
Design
The building, designed by KPF, is planned to be a 53-storey tower. It will contain 552 built-to-rent apartments.[9] The architectural design is noted for its undulating facade, which breaks from the more orthogonal grid of the surrounding neighbourhood and provides a dynamic interplay of horizontal and vertical elements. The apartments are designed to prioritise internal amenity space and feature floor-to-ceiling windows and Juliette balconies, offering views of the South Dock and surrounding area.[3]
It is planned to include over 1,500 square metres (16,000 sq ft) of shared amenity space in its podium, including a gym, business centre, and other multi-functional rooms.[3]
