Canary Wharf Group (CWG) has secured planning consent for a new purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) scheme at 7 Brannan Street in Wood Wharf.
Designed by Howells, the development will provide 912 bedrooms in a 46-storey building as well as a host of amenity, communal and leisure spaces at ground, mezzanine, ninth and roof levels. The scheme will also feature a new ground floor retail offer and two new waterside public gardens.
Tom Venner, chief development officer at Canary Wharf Group, said: “7 Brannan Street will be a fantastic addition to the diverse range of residential offerings at Canary Wharf. We are already home to world-leading education and learning facilities, including the UCL School of Management operating from One Canada Square.
“This building will help meet the demand for modern, high-quality accommodation located within a metropolitan environment offering a rich mix of retail, leisure, hospitality and green spaces for students to enjoy.”
