Canary Wharf Group revealed this morning that it is starting enabling work on two major tower schemes on its London Docklands site.

The two projects being fired-up for construction start include a major interlinked office tower complex at Heron Quays West and its first residential high-rise called the Diamond Tower.

David Pritchard, Chairman of Canary Wharf owners Songbird Estates, said: “The board is confident about the immediate prospects for the London real estate market.

“The group’s development pipeline is well positioned to take advantage of increasing demand and the prospect of a shortfall in supply of both prime commercial and residential space.”

Pritchard said Canary Wharf Group had now taken significant steps to bring major projects in its 11m sq ft London pipeline to fruition.
