Art-Invest Real Estate is overhauling one of its planned buildings at Dockside Canada Water, SE16, switching from an office-led proposal to PBSA. The new strategy will include 730 PBSA beds and 75 affordable homes.

The company secured detailed planning permission for two of three buildings last year, but will now resubmit proposals with a change to the third, plot B.

With a particular focus on health and wellbeing, tenants and visitors alike will enjoy an excellent work-life balance surrounded by a generous amount of green space. 

Situated on a strategic central London freehold 4.5-acre site, its dockside setting offers an abundance of natural parks, woods and health resources.

Art-Invest lodged an environmental impact assessment with Southwark Council, prepared by environmental consultancy Trium. It said the new scheme will provide PBSA and affordable housing across two buildings, one of seven-storeys and the other 26-storeys.

Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) was behind the original masterplan to transform the site into three innovative buildings comprising 1.1 million sq ft of flexible workspace, restaurants, retail outlets and over 89,000 sq ft waterside terraces.
