London Millharbour planned to be a new, phased mixed-use development located in the Millennium Quarter, just south of Canary Wharf in the Docklands of East London. The three building complex includes 753,000 square feet of office space, with 28,000 square feet of ground floor retail space.


Pembroke envisions London Millharbour as the catalyst for regeneration of a largely undervalued area of London. This landmark development is situated in the Millennium Quarter, a new business district that includes 50 acres of land immediately south of Canary Wharf. Consistent with our philosophy, Pembroke’s vision for this site extends beyond the project itself and into the surrounding area. Our Millharbour project will feature exciting new architecture and much needed facilities that will help promote confidence in this emerging urban quarter.


Because the property is situated in a developing area, Pembroke encountered challenges unique to a nascent market. We led a consortium of developers in an innovative public/private process, which involved master planning the Millennium Quarter. The group was particularly concerned with redressing infrastructure issues, such as transportation, to ensure the area lived up to its potential. For example, the consortium helped improve access to transit with the construction of a pedestrian bridge with upgrades to the Docklands Light Rail station.


Designed by renowned UK architects Hopkins & Partners, London Millharbour’s main building will establish a retail presence along the main pedestrian street and provide a visual link to pedestrians coming from the subway and Docklands Light Rail. The elegant, glass-clad building provides office space at the upper levels and will support retail uses and bring life to the street. As a landmark development in an emerging market, London Millharbour’s modern, elegant, and highly visible buildings will set an example for the kind of quality development the area hopes to attract.
