Rockwell<\/a> and Firethorn Trust<\/a> have gained planning consent for the landmark waterfront development of Quay House in Canary Wharf, London<\/h2>\n

London Borough of Tower Hamlets<\/a> has granted planning permission for the 40-storey Quay House waterfront development which will deliver a 400-bedroom hotel and 279 serviced apartments alongside dockside leisure facilities.<\/p>\n

Redevelopment of the existing three-storey Quay House will enhance South Quay, activating currently underused public spaces beneath the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and along Admirals Way.<\/p>\n

The site was acquired in a JV between Rockwell and FirethornTrust in October 2018 and the planning application was subsequently submitted in July 2019. With planning permission<\/a> now secured, work is expected to start on site later this year.<\/p>\n

Waterfront development joint venture<\/h3>\n

Donal Mulryan, founder of Rockwell, said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted that the London Borough of Tower Hamlets has granted permission for this exceptional development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunities for local people and businesses are substantial with 172 full time jobs once operational, 300 jobs during construction and a contribution of \u00a334m per year to the local economy through visitor spending alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur relationships with local organisations such as Parkour Generations and the London Training Centre will further maximise the benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris Webb, founding partner of FirethornTrust, added: \u201cWe are proud to have received planning permission for the redevelopment of Quay House.<\/p>\n

“The borough\u2019s decision is an important one, in that it will facilitate the delivery of much-needed jobs and visitor accommodation whilst also providing significant improvements to the public realm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited about bringing this development forward with Rockwell to deliver a landmark waterfront scheme overlooking Canary Wharf<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quay House economic benefits<\/h3>\n

Once open the waterfront development will have significant economic benefits which include 172 full time jobs, in addition to 300 during construction. It is expected to contribute \u00a334.2m of additional visitor spend to the local economy each year alongside \u00a318.3m per year to the wider supply chain.<\/p>\n

To ensure that employment opportunities are harnessed by the local community, the proposal expands Rockwell\u2019s existing partnership with the London Training Centre<\/a>, delivering a skills training initiative designed to provide local people with access to qualifications and jobs.<\/p>\n
