South Quay Plaza is a residential-led development under construction on the Isle of Dogs, London, England, within the borough of Tower Hamlets.
The site of the development lies to the immediate north of Marsh Wall and to the immediate south of the financial district Canary Wharf.
South Quay 1 was constructed in 1986 and occupied by the Daily Telegraph, until their offices were moved to nearby Canary Wharf.
[10] Although originally also scheduled for demolition, South Quay 2 was instead rebuilt and returned to use until the Berkeley scheme demolished it.
[11] In April 2015, the scheme received approval from the then-Mayor of London Boris Johnson, meaning the development could go ahead.
[11] In 2015, Berkeley announced they were planning to build a third tower next to South Quay Plaza, but will form part of the same development.
[16] In total, the development will provide 1,383 residential apartments[14][17] and 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft) of new outdoor public space, as well as cafés and restaurants.
[5] In 2022, Berkeley submitted a proposal to raise the height of Berwick Tower by 15.3 m (50 ft), adding five floors and 45 new homes (14 of which are affordable) to the building.
