The proposed North Quay Lab Building at Canary Wharf
(Picture: ©Kiasm for KPF.jpg)Bankers in Canary Wharf may soon be getting a new kind of neighbour, after plans were submitted to build Europe’s biggest life sciences building among the skyscrapers of London’s second financial sector.
A detailed application has been submitted to build a 23-storey tower which provide a “vertical campus” covering over 820,000 square feet, capable of housing laboratories on every floor. The company behind the proposals, specialist real estate firm Kadans Science Partner, has formed a joint venture with Canary Wharf for the project. It says the building will also be the most technologically advanced of its kind in Europe.
