The architectural plans for redeveloping the iconic 8 Canada Square building in Canary Wharf have recently been unveiled to the public. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF), the project will commence in 2027 after HSBC's lease ends. The 1.1 million square foot (102,193 square meter) building will be transformed into a premier destination featuring top-tier workspaces, leisure, entertainment, education, and cultural attractions.

The redevelopment will enhance sustainability, transport links, and amenities, creating a publicly accessible route between the Elizabeth line station and Canada Square Park. This investment by Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and Canary Wharf Group (CWG) exemplifies their vision for future multi-use real estate, ensuring world-class ESG credentials and meeting evolving business needs. The transformation aims to capitalize on Canary Wharf's growing popularity, with 67.2 million visitors in 2023.
