Rising just steps away from Canada Square, the aptly named Newfoundland tower, by the Canary Wharf Group, has made a great deal of progress since our last update in 2017. Designed by Horden Cherry Lee, the tower's distinctive diagrid patterned exoskeleton has made the 60-storey, 560-unit, residential tower a standout project amidst a collection of architecturally-inspired tower developments currently underway in the rapidly intensifying Canary Wharf district of London.
Having nearly reached its full 220-metre height, it will not be long before the tower tops off, its signature cladding not far behind. Visible above, the majority of the spandrel and glass facade has been installed up to about the 50th floor, the final stretch to be completed in a matter of months.
Viewed above, the Automatic Climbing System (ACS) can be seen as it makes its way up the tower. Just below the ACS, the exposed ends of the diagrid pattern support structure can be made out in pink, as the uppermost storeys await cladding.
Down at ground level, work now underway at the base of the tower can be seen, the double-height bottom floors that will soon make up the lobby and other public space, to offer sweeping views of the local streetscape. Set for completion by the end of the year, Newfoundland will soon join a host of other equally exciting projects in the neighbourhood.
