Harbour Central is a spectacular residential development in London’s Docklands, comprising 642 luxury private apartments spread across five buildings.

The 42-storey Maine Tower, the largest of the buildings, has a total of 299 highly specified apartments ranging from studios to penthouses. Harbour Central’s leisure complex includes a residents’ club with a library, concierge, gym and spa, business suites and a cinema.
