- 756 new apartments with over 14,000 sq ft of state-of-the-art amenities strengthens Vertus’ position as London’s leading BTR operator
- Pioneering design responds to the hybrid working revolution transforming how Londoners live and work

This Autumn sees Vertus, the residential leasing arm of Canary Wharf Group, unveil 50-60 Charter Street – a striking new addition to London’s build-to-rent landscape that redefines what premium rental living means in the capital.
Situated in Wood Wharf, Canary Wharf’s vibrant new eastern neighbourhood, this development delivers 756 meticulously designed apartments ranging from intimate 463 sq ft studios to spacious 1,397 sq ft family apartments. Designed by renowned architects GRID, each residence maximises natural light and creates flowing living spaces that transform rental properties into true homes.
Where Work Meets Play
At the heart of 50-60 Charter Street lies 14,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed amenity space. Residents can unwind in the sophisticated lounge, challenge friends in the games room, or maintain their fitness in the state-of-the-art gym. Recognising London’s embrace of hybrid working, the building features seven meeting pods and four private meeting rooms, plus elegant private dining rooms and six guest suites for visiting friends and family.
Alastair Mullens, Managing Director of Residential at Canary Wharf Group, said:
“50-60 Charter Street represents our direct response to how Londoners live and work today. This building doesn’t just offer outstanding apartments but creates a complete lifestyle experience – beautifully designed homes with world-class amenities, exceptional service, and a genuinely thriving community. This is rental living, elevated.”
The building’s spectacular 4,724 sq ft outdoor terrace offers views across South Dock and Harbour Quay Gardens, where warm Edison lightbulbs create a golden ambiance for gatherings. This exclusive space, easily reserved via the Vertus residents’ app, gracefully shifts from a tranquil morning coffee spot to a magical setting for evening social events.
A Thriving Community
Residents become part of Vertus+, a vibrant social community featuring cooking masterclasses, language workshops, and the popular Wine Wednesday club. This commitment to community, combined with world-class concierge service, has earned Vertus multiple accolades including Best London BTR Development awards.
World-class dining awaits on the doorstep with Hawksmoor, Dishoom, Blacklock, and Kricket nearby, while Canary Wharf’s 16.5 acres of landscaped spaces offer activities from GoBoats to open water swimming at Eden Dock. Exceptional transport links via Jubilee line, DLR, Elizabeth line, and Thames Clipper connect residents to all of London.
Charlotte Last, Joint Head of Investment Lettings & Management at Knight Frank commented:
”Charter Street establishes a new standard for rental living in London, with some of the largest and most broad-ranging amenities of any build-to-rent development in the capital. With exceptional city views, comprehensive services and a vibrant yet secure community, it offers a premium, hassle-free rental experience – designed to ensure residents feel at home from the moment they move in. The impressive, rapid evolution of Canary Wharf’s culinary, cultural and retail offerings has made it a truly sought-after neighbourhood for many renters, and we expect this latest building will match the success of previous developments across the estate.”
Maria Reynolds, Lettings Manager at Chestertons’ Canary Wharf branch, says:
“London’s build-to-rent market has seen substantial growth in recent years and Canary Wharf – with its abundance of lifestyle offerings and first-class transport links – remains a highly sought-after location. 50 Charter Street represents the next evolution of rental living in Canary Wharf. With its twin towers offering over 750 beautifully designed homes, panoramic views across the Thames and Harbord Square Park and a wealth of lifestyle amenities, this development is a true reflection of Vertus’ commitment to quality, flexibility and community. We are proud to offer tenants registered with us a space where residents can thrive – whether they are working, relaxing or exploring everything Wood Wharf has to offer.”
