We are now moving into the busiest time of the year for the Docklands lettings market and early indications are that tenants will have the best choice of apartments available. Despite a number of Canary Wharf banks announcing job cuts there is still significant demand for good quality rental property and the available stock is up on last year thanks to the completion of a number of new developments over the last year. Notable additions to the docklands property market include:
Ontario Tower - Studio,1 and 2 bed apartments next to the very popular New Providence Wharf Development. City Tower - 1,2 and 3 bed apartments walking distance to Canary Wharf Elektron - 1 and 2 bed apartments opposite Blackwall DLR station and walking distance to Canary Wharf Capital East 2, Westgate and Oxygen - 1,2 and 3 bed apartments next to Royal Victoria DLR station, very close to the bars and restaurants at Excel.
The old favorites such as Discovery Dock, West India Quay and Millharbour are also still proving popular but are going to be given a run for their money with some of the development completions coming up over the next few years. Pan Peninsula looks set to raise the bar for luxury living in Canary Wharf and has led other developers to compare themselves to this development. Other additions such as the Landmark, Icon, and Baltimore Wharf aren't far behind. We will also see the development of Canary Quarter over the next few years along with Lanterns Court and some very exciting developments at Silvertown Quays. Looking to the Docklands fringes, Greenwich is going to be a big growth market over the coming years as well as Bow and the fast developing rental market in Stratford. The Docklands rental market has clearly developed as an established residential location and is continuing to become a destination location for tenants from all over London.
