About the project

Ensign House is a 56-storey, 225-metre residential skyscraper under construction on Marsh Wall in the South Quay district of London's Isle of Dogs, beside the Canary Wharf financial centre. The tower replaces the six-storey 1980s office block of the same name, which was demolished to clear the site. Developed by the Far East Consortium and designed by Maccreanor Lavington in an Art Deco idiom inspired by the Chrysler Building, the bronze-clad tower will deliver around 500 apartments, including roughly 135 affordable homes and a single crowning penthouse, plus flexible ground-floor commercial space, its illuminated spire marking the Docklands skyline.
