Pan Peninsula, also known as 1 Millharbour, is a residential development on the Isle of Dogs, London located near South Quay DLR station. Pan Peninsula is one of several high-rise residential developments that have been constructed on the Isle of Dogs.[1] It was arguably the first “Ultra Luxury” development in Canary Wharf.[2]
Pan Peninsula consists of two towers—the taller East tower is 148m (486feet) and 48 storeys, surpassing the towers of the Barbican Estate and one of three joint 44th-tallest buildings in London as of March 2023. The shorter West tower is 122m (400feet) and 38 storeys tall.[3] The East tower was topped-out in September 2007. Both buildings were completed in 2008, with the first residents moving in from early 2009.[4]
The project was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and was developed by Irish property firm Ballymore.[5]
The towers are connected by a reception area containing a concierge foyer, multi-floor gym, private cinema and terraced restaurant. The 48th floor of the East tower houses a cocktail bar which is open to residents and their guests.[6] The tops of the towers have been designed to resemble lanterns, providing strong LED lighting features that are very visible on the skyline and gradually change colour.[1]
The West Tower contains 430 units, while the East Tower houses 356 units. The towers house mainly two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio apartments, all containing balconies. The studio apartments are relatively small, containing storage space in the majority of the finished walls, and a fold-up bed that locks into the wall space, creating a dining room environment. In 2006, the penthouse was sold for £7 million.[5]
