This 19th century grain warehouse in Mill Street was the very first residential conversion in Docklands. Named after Concordia, a prairie town near Kansas City, Missouri, whose imported grain was stored before being handled by nearby mills, it was bought in 1980 by Andrew Wadsworth.
New Concordia Wharf became a model for other conversions, both for its meticulous respect for history and for the care taken to create a mixed-use environment, through a combination of apartments, penthouses and studio workshps.
The development received the Europa Nostra Gold Medal Conservation Award in 1986 and was also given a special award by HRH Prince Charles.
The building has its own indoor swimming pool and extensive riverside jetties and walkways.
A new footbridge across the mouth of St. Saviour's Dock, alongside which the Wharf stands, provides pedestrian access to the Thames Path, which follows the river past Tower Bridge to Tate Modern and beyond.
