Conrad Phoenix
(Canada Water) Ltd is looking to create a vibrant new waterside
development along the eastern quay of Canada Water. The
proposals for WatersideView,
also known as Site C, have been conceived within the context
of London Borough of Southwark’s plans for the regeneration
of the wider area and the work being undertaken by British
Land Canada Quays Ltd on the development of an overall
masterplan.
The history
The Rotherhithe Peninsula was home to the Surrey Docks that thrived throughout
the nineteenth century. Many of the old London docks were filled in during
the 1970s but part of the old Canada Dock survived and is now known as Canada
Water.
The location
WatersideView lies at the heart of the Canada
Water area and the site, purchased by Conrad Phoenix in 2002, covers approximately
1.9 hectares (5 acres). It is bounded to the east by the Surrey Quays Road,
to the north by the Albion Channel, to the south by Surrey Quays Shopping Centre
service yard and to the west by the Canada Water basin and adjacent public
footpath. It is currently occupied by two single storey retail warehouses,
which house the sports goods retailer Decathlon and a large area of under-utilised
surface car parking.
 The
name WatersideView has been
chosen for the proposed development to reflect the site’s
prominent location and the attractive backdrop of Canada
Water. The development would include a range of special features
to extend, enhance and protect the ecology and wildlife around
the basin.
The developer
Conrad Phoenix is an investment and development company with over 25 years
experience of property development projects including retail, offices, industrial
and residential schemes in London and the Home Counties.
