Morgan Sindall has been confirmed for a £65m life sciences development in Canary Wharf.

Work for clients Oaktree Capital Management and LS Estates will see the existing office building at 17 Columbus Courtyard (17CC)  transformed into a new state-of-the-art life science and technology hub.

Construction will start on site this month with completion scheduled for late 2026.

Richard Dobson, Morgan Sindall Construction’s Area Director for London, said: “17CC will exemplify how existing buildings can be repurposed and adapted to accommodate the changing nature of the workplace, assisting occupants in meeting their sustainability objectives.

“We’re looking forward to working alongside LS Estates to realise the potential 17CC has to offer for innovators working across the life science and technology sector.”
