Fresh Wharf

Low-carbon workspace retrofit on the Thames

Riverside office retrofit delivering a bold new workspace development near London Tower Bridge

A CGI aerial rendering of a contemporary riverside office development alongside the River Thames in London. The stepped building features extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing, landscaped terraces, rooftop gardens and outdoor seating areas. A large waterfront plaza with planting, trees and public seating overlooks a pedestrian promenade running along the river’s edge. Several people are visible throughout the public spaces, while neighbouring city buildings and a bridge span the water in the background.

Key takeaways

11

storey commercial office development

120,000

sq ft total floor area

25,150

sq ft external terrace space

  • 748 kgCO₂/m² whole-life embodied carbon  
  • 100 tonnes CO₂ saved through strategic material retention and reuse 
  • 91% recycled content in flooring, maximising material reuse from the existing structure 

     

Located moments away from Tower Bridge on the River Thames, Fresh Wharf is transforming a prominent riverside site into a high-quality, sustainable office development. The 11-storey, 120,000 sq ft scheme is responding to growing demand for flexible, low-carbon workspaces in central London, through a retrofit-first approach. 

Building on our strong track record in complex commercial developments, we are blending heritage with modernity and integrating sustainability into construction from the outset. The scheme targets ambitious environmental outcomes, retaining key elements of the existing structure and maximining material reuse to significantly reduce embodied carbon and extend the project’s lifecycle.  

Delivering in a constrained riverside location requires careful coordination of logistics, design and sequencing. Our approach focuses on early collaboration, efficient procurement and reliable buildability, ensuring programme certainty while maintaining quality. 

Fresh Wharf will offer expansive, flexible floorplates alongside 25,150 sq ft of outdoor space, supporting modern ways of working. A curated mix of amenities, including a riverside café and destination restaurant, will create a dynamic ground floor and surrounding area. 

The project demonstrates how sustainable construction and high-quality design can come together to create a future-ready workplace in a prime London location.
