In a building that’s rapidly gained a reputation for bringing Manhattan loft-style living to London, 8 Harbord Square Canary Wharf has a secret (two actually), waiting to be discovered. Inspired by New York’s elegant Gramercy Park and fused with the estate’s dockside lifestyle, there are two unique Upper Loft apartments exclusively up for grabs. Taking urban lifestyles quite literally to new heights, these rooftop apartments offer a unique opportunity to define your own experience of life in London, combining panoramic views of the city with a sense of luxury, wellbeing and local convenience that’s second to none. Here’s what you need to know.

Why choose a rooftop apartment?

Upscale living has never looked as good as it does from this vantage point. The two Upper Lofts deliver exclusivity, privacy and the ability to personalise your space, all in one go. Close to every convenience you could ask for but secreted away from the hustle and bustle of the world below, the apartments sit on the 11th floor, enjoying optimum natural light thanks to their sky-high position.

The interiors are defined by high ceilings, an open plan layout, artful finishes and state-of-the-art appliances. However, the rooftop apartments also offer an almost unheard-of amount of outdoor living space with wraparound private terraces as well as access to the building’s resident-only rooftop gardens. Of course, there is also the eponymous park below, leading to the blue-zone beauty of Blackwall Basin on the London Docklands nearby.

8 Harbord Square: an overview

No.8 is at the heart of Harbord Square itself, and is also part of Wood Wharf, which has a reputation for being Canary Wharf’s centre of culture, creativity and diversity. There’s a Soho-like vibe to the area, which is brimming with independent shops, bars, restaurants and cafes.

It’s got everything you want for modern life in London, offering an almost village-like feel, whilst being spectacularly well connected, with easy transport links including the DLR, Elizabeth line and Jubilee line. You can stroll across the wider Canary Wharf estate to work or to enjoy whichever amenities you want, or you can be at Westminster in 11 minutes and London City Airport in 14 minutes.

The area’s park, which sits at the foot of the No.8 building, is based on the London tradition of garden squares, offering a safe space for children to play and adults to enjoy a peaceful stroll or mindful activities under the trees.

Walk through the park and you reach Blackwall Basin on the London Docklands – the focus of enormous care and regenerative investment, which has resulted in the establishment of wildlife and biodiversity in the area. This harmonising of the natural and urban worlds means the area continues (quite literally) to grow in its beauty.

8 Harbord Square: an overview

Newly launched onto the market this summer, the Upper Lofts at 8 Harbord Square sit within a coveted building that’s seen its London penthouse apartments and Loft apartments rapidly snapped up. A last-chance opportunity to purchase a lifestyle like no other, they are two of a kind, unique even within the building itself.

While the location offers many of its own drawcards, the building’s exterior is unique within the city, reflecting the industrial heritage of Canary Wharf, courtesy of Karakusevic Carson Architects.

Inside, the open-concept apartments mean you can style the space as you wish, enhanced by the only fixed details, which include elegant kitchens and bathrooms. Engineered timber flooring and black cast iron radiators, brushed steel sockets and stainless-steel lighting switches and walnut wall panelling create the backdrop for infusing your personality into the space.

Meanwhile, metal front doors, stainless steel kitchen fixtures offset by stone wall panels, Calacatta green marble splashbacks and convivial islands with bar seating space and grey mosaic bathrooms add understated but unmistakable touches of class and luxury.

The cherry on top; the resident’s terrace, serving as a social hub, making this not only an exclusive home, but an exclusive community as well.

Your apartment, your way

Where many of the apartments on the Estate deliver an entire aesthetic, one of the most attractive parts of the Upper Lofts at 8 Harbord Square is that they offer the flexibility to make them what you want. That makes them a canvas for you to put your own mark on today, but also means you can adapt your space as your needs evolve over time.

They’re ready to move into as soon as you complete, but the open-plan nature of these spaces means that you can set them up as you wish, configuring furniture and features for single life, living with friends, a partner or starting a family.

The market appeal of 8 Harbord Square

Every property owner wants two things from their home – an exceptional lifestyle and for it to be a good investment. Flanked by the building’s London penthouses, these unique properties are a prime choice for potential buyers looking for the triple threat of exclusivity, location and design.

Canary Wharf remains a coveted place to be, offering those who wish to live here an exciting opportunity to experience the future of urban living, defined by elegance, style, convenience and harmony with nature. However, with a growing population of young talent and a continuously enhanced infrastructure across the estate attracting more businesses and more people, the real estate in Canary Wharf is also a promising investment, with nowhere else quite like the Upper Apartments at No.8 Harbord Square.
