Canary Wharf Group has won planning permit for a 58 floor resident tower.

Tower Hamlets council agress to the scheme, which is the 1st residential building on the Canary Wharf estate.

The Newfoundland project will now be referred to the Mayor of London for final approval and is subject to completion of a section 106 agreement.

Construction work will start this summer and finish in 2018.

The project, known as the diamond tower because of the rhomboid patterns made by the glass panels on its façade, will have 566 flats, shops and a health club. Canary Wharf Group said tit would provide the equivalent of 280 affordable housing units off site.

The project was designed by Horden Cherry Lee Architects. In our honest opinion this building looks absolutely fantastic.
