The development also features several mid-rise and two glass residential towers up to 37-storeys at the entrance of Chelsea Creek, serving as a landmark along Thames River.

Convoys Wharf
London Borough of Lewisham
(Residential-led Brownfield Redevelopment)
Built on the site of the former Deptford Royal Dockyard used for shipbuilding for the Royal Navy, this 43-acre parcel of land had been disused and inaccessible to the public for centuries. Featuring over a quarter-mile of Thames river frontage, this development unlocks this valuable asset by creating panoramic views and a unique waterside living experience with 3,500 new residential units for 10,000 residents. It is a key part of London’s regeneration strategy, creating over 2,000 permanent jobs and 1,200+ construction jobs.
