Consort Place, formerly known as Alpha Square, is a mixed-use development currently under construction in the Isle of Dogs, London, England, south of the financial district Canary Wharf.

Original plans for the development were withdrawn by the developer in 2015 following a recommendation to refuse the scheme by Tower Hamlets Development Committee. Revised plans were submitted in 2015 which were rejected by Tower Hamlets Council in February 2016.[2] The then Mayor of London Boris Johnson called in the scheme in early 2016 which gave him the authority to reject or allow the proposals.[3] It was approved on 27 April 2016.[4]

Consort Place is a mixed-use 80000sqm development project, which has a gross development value of £470 million and is planned by the Hong Kong developer, Far East Consortium (FEC). It comprises three key buildings:[5] [6] [7]

Additionally, the development will feature a new public square with ancillary amenities, ground floor retail space, a health centre, and a new school. The North Pole, a 160-year-old pub, will also be restored and reopened.[13]
