New Providence Wharf, Residential complex in Blackwall, Tower Hamlets, United Kingdom.

New Providence Wharf is a residential complex in Blackwall featuring multiple blocks arranged along Fairmont Avenue and Yabsley Street with approximately 559 apartments. The development includes several tower structures that rise above the lower residential buildings, creating a varied skyline along the riverside.

The complex was developed in the early 2000s, transforming former industrial docklands into a modern residential neighborhood. This change was part of a broader redevelopment effort along the Thames in East London.

The complex reflects contemporary urban design through its waterfront location and shared public spaces that draw residents and visitors alike. The architecture creates a modern residential neighborhood where the river views and open areas become part of daily life.

The site is well-connected by public transport, with nearby DLR stations and bus routes providing access throughout London. The location also offers direct pedestrian access to the Thames riverside and surrounding neighborhoods.

The complex includes two prominent towers, Ontario Tower and Charrington Tower, which together house over 600 apartments and stand out distinctly from the surrounding buildings. These towers were designed by internationally recognized architects and define the visual character of the Blackwall waterfront.
