Canary Wharf Group has received planning approval from Tower Hamlets Council for a comprehensive refurbishment of 33 Canada Square, rebranded “One Eden,” reports Property Week. The 17-storey Foster + Partners tower — originally Citigroup's London home since 1999 — will be retrofitted rather than demolished, retaining 97% of its existing structure while delivering 545,000 sq ft of workspace and retail. Plans include a new atrium connecting the building to Jubilee Park, Canada Square Park and Eden Dock, along with a potential rooftop restaurant. The all-electric scheme is targeting BREEAM ‘Excellent,’ NABERS 4.5-star, WELL ‘Platinum’ and EPC ‘A’ ratings, with costs reported to have escalated from an initial £100m in 2022 to as much as £1.1bn. The pre-let scheme is able to proceed once Citibank decants into its revamped 25 Canada Square HQ. CWG chief investment officer John Mulqueen described the project as embodying “the future of Canary Wharf.” |
