Canary Wharf Group’s tenants include some of the world’s leading business organisations from the media, legal, accounting, banking, financial services, technology, energy and transport sectors. The Group has also developed and successfully let over 300 shops, bars, cafes and restaurants to many of Britain’s leading brands. In March 2013, the Group launched its Level39 initiative to attract fintech and smart cities start-ups to Canary Wharf. Level39 is now home to over nearly 170 start-up companies in 80,000 sq ft across three floors at One Canada Square.

In addition to development on the Canary Wharf Estate, the Group is involved with projects across London. The 20 Fenchurch Street (Walkie Talkie) development in the City of London was completed in late 2014 and is nearly fully let and the Group is also in a joint venture to redevelop the Shell Centre on London’s South Bank.
