7 Brannan Street is a purpose-built development that will introduce student accommodation into the emerging Wood Wharf district in Canary Wharf.

7 Brannan Street is a purpose-built development that will introduce student accommodation into the emerging Wood Wharf district in Canary Wharf. It forms part of the third phase of Wood Wharf that will deliver new housing, public open space, retail entertainment and all the necessary amenities required for a neighbourhood to thrive.

The project will be a distinctive landmark tower containing 912 student bedrooms across a range of types and sizes to the different needs of residents. Each floor of accommodation has free access to the various communal amenity spaces located as ‘events’ at the top middle and base of the building.

The tower incorporates a south facing rooftop terrace which has panoramic views over London, and a tenth-floor amenity provision facing toward the Blackwall Basin. The interior spaces are focused on the wellbeing of occupants, with biophilic living, environmental comfort and sustainability at the forefront of the intended design.

The ground floor provision includes vibrant and inviting spaces shared between students and retail. These spaces have views out over the water and connect to a landscaped public realm which steps down to a basin side promenade.

F1 Wood Wharf is a new 912 room student accommodation development that contributes to the ongoing evolution of Canary Wharf as a Metropolitan Centre, and as a 15-minute City. This slender, elegant landmark tower has a clear identity that underpins the wider vision for Wood Wharf, whilst being designed to offer exemplary, affordable, high quality student amenity and accommodation and to be a truly sustainable building with a commitment to the health and well-being of the students and the environment.
