The tower will be one of three new commercial buildings built on the 4.5-acre development, which will be master-planned by <a href="https://archinect.com/bjarke-ingels-group" target="_blank">BIG</a>.</p> <p>The New York-based studio will make its UK debut by reportedly designing a 1.5 million square feet of "grade A, sustainably-certified" office workspace for up to 10,000 workers. The project includes 100,000 square feet of "affordable offices for small businesses, alongside community spaces and other amenities" located on the building's ground floor.</p> <p>"Having worked with Matthias [Hollwich] and his team previously we knew his visionary and innovate approach would be well suited to Canada Water Dockside, and we&rsquo;re delighted to be bringing his architecture to the UK for the first time,"&nbsp;Luka Vukotic, the Development Director for Art-Invest, said in a statement.&nbsp;<br></p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/b4/b41dca3580160bd3258c51b1e172f4c2.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/b4/b41dca3580160bd3258c51b1e172f4c2.jpeg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>Image court...</figcaption></figure>
