Canada Water Masterplan

The Canada Water Masterplan is a 53-acre regeneration of the Rotherhithe peninsula in the London Borough of Southwark, creating a new town centre for south-east London around the historic Canada Dock, at Surrey Quays Road with 4184 residences, under way since 2021 and targeting 2036. Financed with $100M from Homes England in May 2021.

Delivered by British Land and AustralianSuper in partnership with Southwark Council, with a masterplan by Allies and Morrison, the consented scheme provides up to 4,184 new homes, 2.5 million square feet of workspace and 1 million square feet of retail, leisure and cultural space, knitted together by a 3.5-acre public park, a new town square and 16 new streets. The first phase has delivered The Founding, a 35-storey residential tower, the Three Deal Porters workspace building, affordable homes at 7 Roberts Close and a new leisure centre, while the revised masterplan adds height across later residential plots, introduces alternative living uses and commits to 20% affordable housing in the next phase. Dockside promenades, biodiverse landscaping and pedestrian-first streets set the tone for a walkable, mixed-income district, supported by new step-free access at Surrey Quays Station.
