1 West India Quay

1 West India Quay is a landmark 33-storey mixed-use skyscraper situated just north of Canary Wharf business district in east London.

In 2001, planning permission was gained by Squire and Partners for a slender landmark mixed-use tower conceived to act as a visual counterpoint to the monumental brick form of the adjacent Victorian warehouses in London's Docklands.

The official topping-out of the structure occurred on 24 September 2003, at which point 1 West India Quay became London's 21st tallest building.

A report in The Times said that MWB Group Holdings and its partner Manhattan Loft Corporation had "fallen out" with contractor Multiplex over the delays.

[7] Developer Harry Handelsman, of Manhattan Loft Corporation, has also claimed that upon completion 1 West India Quay was "the largest high-rise building in London".
