Leading developer, Far East Consortium (FEC) is proud to launch Aspen on Thursday 30th January 2020, an exciting new lifestyle offering within Consort Place, which once complete in 2023, will sit proudly in Canary Wharf. Aspen will offer a remarkable collection of studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments, within an elegant 65 storey tower. The development will feature the Aspen Club which will include concierge services, a wellness and fitness suite, a business lounge and a glorious residents sky lounge at the very top; prices start from £398,000.
The vision for the scheme was developed by Pilbrow and Partners Architects where the curvature of the two towers at Consort Place were designed to maximise the development’s outstanding views of the River Thames as it snakes westward, and the sun’s natural light as it rises in the east. The interiors at Aspen, designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA Residential), make use of warm, earth tones, comprising soft bronze and tactile copper, paying homage to the development’s eponymous aspen trees – a reflection of its seasonal changing colours.
All of the amenities in the development are designed with comfort, ease and community in mind. Beyond Aspen, across the new realm of Consort Place, there will be a 231-room four-star Dorsett hotel, an education facility and a health and community centre as well as a multitude of cafes and a restaurant to connect residents to the daily life of the local community. Moreover, the historic and famous North Pole Pub is one of only a handful of pubs in the area which withstood the Blitz, and as befits the cultural significance of this local landmark, FEC is ensuring that it will be carefully restored.
Nick Poon, Head of Projects for FEC comments: “We are embracing the energy and optimism that comes with a new year, but also a new decade, and we are incredibly excited to now launch Aspen at Consort Place in Canary Wharf. We see this as more than a building project – it is an opportunity to build on our vision of bringing communities together and Aspen we will offer the very best in living experiences for a range of modern lifestyles.
Poon adds: “Our newly commissioned replica model of Aspen at Consort Place gives buyers and investors a chance to see exactly how the development will look when completed. It is certainly a striking beacon between the gleaming metropolis of Canary Wharf and the industrious heritage of the Docklands. It is anticipated that the tallest of Consort Place’s two towers, Aspen will become the third tallest residential building in Canary Wharf.”
Project Director for FEC, Bruno Almeida Santos, comments: “The formal launch of Aspen on 30th January marks the start of our journey to completion in 2023 and setting out a vision for generations to come.”

There are a wide variety of prestigious restaurants, as well as a plenitude of relaxed bars and cafes to suit every taste and time of day, alongside numerous parks, squares and waterside walks.
Aspen at Consort Place also has a number of convenient transport links; Canary Wharf tube station is served by the Jubilee Line in zone 2, with the DLR services on its doorstep, whilst London City Airport is less than five miles away by car.
