Consort Place, formerly known as Alpha Square, is a mixed-use development in the Isle of Dogs, London, England, south of the financial district Canary Wharf.

Original plans for the development were withdrawn by the developer in 2015 following a recommendation to refuse the scheme by Tower Hamlets Development Committee. Revised plans were submitted in 2015 which were rejected by Tower Hamlets Council in February 2016.[2] The then Mayor of London Boris Johnson called in the scheme in early 2016 which gave him the authority to reject or allow the proposals.[3] It was approved on 27 April 2016.[4]

Consort Place is a mixed-use 80,000-square-metre (860,000 sq ft) development project, which has a gross development value of £470 million and is planned by the Hong Kong developer, Far East Consortium (FEC). It comprises three key buildings:[5][6][7]

  • Aspen at Consort Place: the taller east tower, standing at 65 storeys (217 metres (712 ft)) with 495 new apartments, when completed in 2024 will be the third-tallest residential building in Canary Wharf.[8] The building has won Mixed Use Development - London at the International Property Awards 2023-2024.[9]
  • Alta at Consort Place: the lower west tower, standing at 34 storeys (124 metres (407 ft)), offers 139 affordable homes.[10] All shared ownership apartments at Alta are between the 25th and 32nd floor. These homes received Highly Commended for Best Medium Development at the First Time Buyer Awards 2023.[11]
  • Dorsett Aspen Canary Wharf Hotel: the 231-room four-star international hotel occupies 20 storeys (80 metres (260 ft)).[12]

Additionally, the development will feature a new public square with ancillary amenities, ground floor retail space, a health centre, and a new school. The North Pole, a 160-year-old pub, will also be restored and reopened.[13]
