The Tower Hamlets Council has approved plans to redevelop Quay House at Canary Wharf in London’s Docklands, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat reports, citing Architect’s Journal. Quay House, planned as a 39-story tower designed by SimpsonHaugh, got the go-ahead in place of what was originally a much-taller project that was rejected due to fears of overdevelopment. The new design will include a 400-room hotel and 279 serviced apartments, a podium at its base and flush windows and polished concrete that the developer said mimics the smooth finish of a pebble. A three-story building on the site will be demolished to make way for the high rise.
