Canary Wharf Group (CWG) has released two of its most unique apartments to date with triple-aspect views across the Canary Wharf skyline, The O2 Arena and the River Thames.
The Upper Lofts are located on the 11th storey of 8 Harbord Square – a striking new building featuring 82 loft-style apartments.
As the two most prestigious residences in the building, these remarkable new homes provide more than 1,400 sq ft of internal living space and boast wrap-around terraces spanning over 1,000 sq ft, offering near panoramic views of some of London’s most celebrated landmarks. Both apartments have been meticulously designed in a warehouse style that reflects 8 Harbord Square’s two major influences: the historic former warehouses of the Docklands and the red brick apartment buildings of New York. You can embrace the industrial chic aesthetic with exposed concrete ceilings, warm timber flooring and sleek, black-framed windows and doors that seamlessly blend with the expansive wrap-around terraces.
These open-plan apartments offer unparalleled flexibility, inviting residents to curate each space with their unique style, adorning it with carefully selected furniture, artwork and collectibles that reflect their personal taste.
Loft living in Canary Wharf
8 Harbord Square is CWG’s latest residential development, located in Wood Wharf, a dynamic 23-acre neighbourhood within the Estate. This visionary building aims to redefine city living with entirely open-plan layouts. Designed by the acclaimed Karakusevic Carson Architects, 8 Harbord Square draws inspiration from the rich history of London Docklands and the iconic allure of New York’s Lower Manhattan warehouse districts. This innovative approach seamlessly blends heritage with contemporary living, creating a harmonious fusion of past and present.
Echoing the urban waterfront history of London’s docks with the archetypal Manhattan loft lifestyle, 8 Harbord Square is a destination designed to inspire residents’ imaginations. By departing from conventional apartment design through the removal of internal walls, layouts have been crafted with the purpose of offering unconstrained, flexible living which allows residents’ lifestyles to dictate the space.
Melanie Conway, Director of Residential Sales, CWG said: “The expression ‘one-of-a-kind’ is sometimes overused, but in this instance, The Upper Lofts represent ‘two-of-a-kind’ apartments not seen before in London. Their positioning within 8 Harbord Square and the wider Canary Wharf Estate gives them views of iconic surrounding landmarks, which previously you would only have seen from some of our tallest residential buildings. With vast wrap-around terraces and totally open plan living spaces, they have been designed to take advantage of these views and the natural light that floods the spaces, giving residents the most incredible sunrises and sunsets. 8 Harbord Square marks the final building in our residential portfolio on the Estate, meaning it’s the last opportunity to own a piece of the Wharf’s rich history and to be a part of the incredible transformation that has taken place here.”
It’s all here
Residents at 8 Harbord Square benefit from direct access to Harbord Square Park and close proximity to The Lanes, a high street-style area featuring a diverse mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Additionally, a nearby boardwalk and Harbour Quay Gardens enhance the outdoor living experience, providing direct access to the water on South Quay dock.
The Estate is home to a flourishing and diverse food and beverage scene: recently opened restaurants include Hawksmoor, Dishoom, Blacklock, Roe and Mallow, with more to come this summer including Hovarda, Marceline and Kricket.
For leisure, the Estate offers an eclectic range of activities, including a colourful minigolf course, the UK’s fastest electric go-karts at Capital Karts, GoBoat, which invites you to soak up the sun by cruising through the tranquil docks, and open water swimming. FairGame, a fairground-inspired food and beverage venue, and Padium, a premium padel club, add further to the extensive choice of amenities.
Additionally, residents benefit from the wider amenities found across Canary Wharf, including 300 shops, the UK’s largest free-to-visit award-winning public art collection, and over 100 culturally inspired events each year, most of which are free to attend including the popular Winter Lights festival.
The Upper Lofts are both priced at £1,950,000. For more information, please visit: residential.canarywharf.com/8-harbord-square/
