What is it like to have a Development design from the start? Are there any examples?
Dr. Michael Oon
Canary Wharf was designed with Feng Shui from the start or the initial concept. It is not only London’s 2nd financial centre, but it is also a retail complex with shops and restaurants and a major transportation hub in East London as part of the London Transport System.
If the site had been designed using the current Western concept of “River Front Views”, it would have been a series of Tower Blocks along the river. Instead, Canary Wharf is designed along a Boulevard which is at right angles to the river.
With this design concept, the property developers are able to add in more tower blocks (meaning more office space) and these buildings would be sharing the energy from the River Bend to make this development even more successful.
Is Canary Wharf successful from the Property Developers point of view? Canary Wharf has more than 200,000 people working here. It has the headquarters to major World Businesses like Barclays Bank, HSBC and European head offices to Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Fitch Ratings, JP Morgan, KPMG, Morgan Stanley and more.
More information on this site is in another post (Canary Wharf).
Abstract: This is an example of a successful development in the UK designed with feng shui from the start.
