Summary -
Canary Wharf is the world's single largest commerical property development containing over 12million square feet of office space. It's situated in the Docklands area of London and contains all three of London's tallest buildings and is arguably the first real skyscraper district in the U.K
Construction started on the project in 1988 and ground to a halt with the recession of the early 90s but since then thing's have picked up and with it's cheap office space and lack of height restrictions companies have been falling over themselves to get landmark buildings at the Wharf.
Phase three of the original estate is now nearing completion with building having started or been completed on every plot of land. The Canary Wharf Group are now looking to expand the estate into much of the rundown area surrounding it. At the same time other property developers have got in on the act, and although they aren't building anything near the height of One Canada Square the whole area is slowly being developed to contain dozens and dozens of highrise buildings.
