The city will probably begin construction after Riverside South has been completed (2012) and if the problems with the Crossrail can be solved.

North Quay is an approved office development, consisting of three towers on the north side of Canary Wharf in London.

On 12 January 2007 the London Borough of Tower Hamlets granted planning permission to Norquil Limited* for the development of 372,660 square metres (gross) of commercial office space on the North Quay site immediately north of One Canada Square, Canary Wharf. The development will adjoin the proposed Isle of Dogs Crossrail station which is part of the transport project currently before Parliament.

Cesar Pelli, the architect of the original Canary Wharf tower, designed the scheme, in association with SMC Alsop as the architects for the public realm areas, which comprises three linked buildings, two of which are towers, 43 storeys (221metres) and 37 storeys (209metres) tall respectively. The scheme will also include a major new performance and public exhibition space and a south facing dockside promenade with an additional 5,324 square metres (gross) of shops, restaurants and bars and pedestrian links to Poplar DLR station and Canary Wharf itself.

The development, which is expected to be completed once the Crossrail station is built, will provide space for approximately 17,000 jobs, more than 4,000 of which are projected to be filled by residents of the East End. As part of the planning process Norquil Limited has entered into an agreement with Tower Hamlets to provide a range of local benefits and improvements including community support, transport improvements and open space with an estimated value of about £20 million.
