The Ballymore Group website tells us:

From early on, we envisaged something entirely different for the New Providence Wharf site. Much of the development along the Thames has consisted of single buildings, often developed with little regard for their context or location. New Providence Wharf, including the Ontario Tower, the Radisson Edwardian Hotel and the Providence Tower, boldly takes a very different approach; by stretching back some 400m from the river, it has a depth and a substance few other riverside developments have achieved. The velocity of sales of the apartments on the site was breathtaking – even to us; equally satisfying has been the worldwide acclaim New Providence Wharf has received as a fine example of mixed use residential, hotel, retail and leisure development.

  • Mixed Use Riverside development on 8.2 acres of former Brownfield site   
  • 1,050 residential units
  • 50,000 sq m of offices and retail
  • Luxury 180 room Radisson Edwardian Hotel
  • Two health spas, gymnasium and swimming pool
  • Extensive landscaped water gardens
  • Walking distance to Canary Wharf
