Newfoundland

Newfoundland is a 219.8-meter-tall residential tower on the Isle of Dogs featuring a steel exoskeleton with a geometric diamond pattern on its facade. The 58-story building houses apartments across its levels, while underground sections contain parking and retail spaces served by four high-speed elevators.

Construction started in 2015 on the Isle of Dogs as the first residential project within the private Canary Wharf estate. The development marked a significant shift in how this former industrial harbor area was being reimagined for contemporary living.

The tower shapes how people experience the Isle of Dogs skyline and reflects the shift from a working harbor to a contemporary residential neighborhood. Its presence marks the area's transformation into a modern urban center where thousands now live and work.

The building is primarily residential and has limited public access, so visitors mainly view it from outside. The surrounding area is walkable and connects easily to nearby Canary Wharf with its shops and dining options.

The tower holds the record as the United Kingdom's tallest build-to-rent building, representing a newer trend in residential development. This approach means the structure was designed specifically for rental housing rather than for sale as individual units.
