Commenting on the launch, Richard Oakes, Sales & Marketing Director, Europe, Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company said: “The sales at Southbank Place have been fantastic to date, so to be able to release the final phase at Casson Square will allow us to reinvigorate buyers that may have been unable to buy the first time around. The fact that they’re on the upper levels and boasting some of the best views in London is another strong selling point and something we think will be a big drawer for purchasers.”

Canary Wharf Group’s Head of Residential Sales, Brian De’ath added: “Since first launching One Casson Square we’ve been inundated with enquiries of when this exclusive collection of apartments on the upper reaches of the building would be released, so to be able to now actively sell them is incredibly exciting. This development speaks for itself; the apartment designs, the location, the views and the amenities are the perfect combination when speaking to people looking to buy a central London home with that extra wow factor.”
