The first residents to move into the Cascades Tower in the late 1980s watched as London’s Docklands changed out of all recognition. Today this development looks as striking as when it was first built.
One of the most iconic of London Docklands’ apartment buildings, Cascades Tower was designed by architect CZWG and completed in 1988 by developer Kentish Homes. It was the first private building to be completed on the Isle of Dogs as the regeneration of this previously run-down part of the capital took shape and the block remains an enduring landmark on the Docklands skyline. Today the Isle of Dogs is a thriving area with some of the world’s leading finance houses located at nearby Canary Wharf - also a major shopping destination and transport hub. The luxury apartment blocks that dot the skyline are now home to thousands of Londoners.
With 165 flats over 20 floors, Cascades Tower, together with its sister block Quayside, sits right on the water’s edge, giving residents stunning views across the River Thames to the city of London. The block contains a range of one, two and three bedroom apartments, many featuring balconies looking out across the river.
Despite its age, when compared to more recently completed blocks, Cascades remains an arresting building with an innovative design. It stands out among the post-modern architecture that characterises the Isle of Dogs and in the last 25 years has become a riverside landmark as well as being popular with residents and locals alike.
This excellent riverside location offers close proximity to central Canary Wharf, has a 24 hr concierge service plus great leisure facilities consisting of gymnasium, swimming pool, sauna, tennis courts and a BBQ area makes Cascades consistently popular with both buyers & renters.
