这个独特的新河滨开发项目名为“伦敦城市岛”（London City Island），将建成一个占地面积为12英亩的社区，在伦敦Leamouth区内打造出一个“小型曼哈顿”。项目计划于2016年竣工，毗邻伦敦市最具活力的创意和商业区。
本项目将成为一道迷人的新城市地标，高耸于泰晤士河与利河（River Lea）的交汇处，与金丝雀码头区以及伦敦市内的典型摩天大厦遥遥相望。本项目将包含1700套新公寓房源，带有漂亮的户外生活区、海滨公园、生机勃勃的新酒吧以及餐馆、艺术馆、精品店、学校以及非凡的私人业主俱乐部。
步道与公共广场相互交织，从而能更好地欣赏的金丝雀码头、O2体育馆以及附近生态公园的美景，而且宛如一处充满活力的现代城堡，颇具数抹私密的氛围。本项目的所有业主都是高端的“城市岛社交俱乐部”（City Island Social Club）的会员。本项目将带有一系列设计优雅的私家配套设施，包括：会所、健身房、放映室和杂货店、各种体育设施、游泳池和花园。整个项目为投资者打造出了最好的现代水滨生活环境。
在售公寓房源的户型包括从1居室户型到宽敞的空中别墅。
每天的任何季节或任何时间你，本项目业主都能欣赏到壮丽的风景，更有永远不会被遮挡的泰晤士河与利河风景，还有金丝雀码头区内令人惊叹的摩天大厦等地标性建筑的风景，更能看到O2体育馆奇幻的圆顶、颇具历史意义的奥林匹克公园（Olympic Park）、具有巴洛克外观的圣保罗大教堂（St Paul’s Cathedral），更值得一提的是，从码头区轻轨车站（Docklands Light Railway）乘车前往历史悠久的伦敦市区只需很短路程。
步行桥建成后，将让城市岛成为伦敦市交通最发达的开发项目之一，从这里步行2分钟即可抵达银禧线（Jubilee Line）车站以及景宁镇站（Canning Town Station）轻轨车站，乘车前行20分钟即可抵达邦德街（Bond Street）车站，前行15分钟即可抵达威斯敏斯特（Westminster）站。由于距离银禧线车站很近，这意味着前往世界上最成功的音乐会举办场地——O2体育馆只有一站地，前往欧洲最大的购物中心——斯特拉福德西田购物中心（Westfield at Stratford）以及伊丽莎白女王广场（Queen Elizabeth Park）只有两站地。
不久前，中国开发商Advance Business Parks公司购入了一块毗邻阿尔伯特码头城市机场（City Airport at Albert Docks）的35英亩土地，这是伦敦市的一项重大利好，开发商与Boris Johnson市长进行磋商，计划开始这一耗资数十亿英镑的投资项目，会将该地发展成伦敦市的第三大金融中心。
London City Island is unique new riverside development and 12-acre neighborhood - creating a ‘mini-Manhattan’ - in Leamouth, London. Due for completion in 2016, it is adjacent to London’s most exciting creative and commercial districts.
City Island will be a dramatic new cityscape, rising at the point where the Thames meets the River Lea and set against stunning views of Canary Wharf and the City of London’s iconic skyscrapers. It will see the creation of 1,700 new apartments, stunning al fresco spaces, waterside parks, vibrant new bars and restaurants, artist studios, boutique shops, school and exceptional private residents’ club.
The walkways and public squares are choreographed so as to offer frequent views of Canary Wharf, the O2 Arena and the nearby ecology park, but also to give the sense of being somehow enclosed within a vibrant, latter-day citadel. All of the Island’s residents are members of the exclusive City Island Social Club. With this comes access to a range of elegantly designed private facilities including a clubhouse, a gym, a screening room and a grocer’s shop, as well as various sports facilities, pools and gardens. This is contemporary waterside living at its best.
The range of apartments available varies from one bedroom suites to expansive penthouses.
Views are spectacular in any season or at any time of day: the rivers Thames and Lea are a constant presence, as are sight lines of landmarks such as the dazzling Canary Wharf cityscape, the otherworldly dome of the O2 Arena, the epochal Olympic Park and the baroque shape of St Paul’s Cathedral, a reminder that the historic City of London is just a short trip on the Docklands Light Railway.
The delivery of the footbridge will make City Island one of the best-connected development sites in London with a 2-minute walk to its very own Jubilee Line and DLR station at Canning Town. 20 minutes to Bond Street, 15 to Westminster. The easy access to the Jubilee means one stop to the world’s most successful music venue at the O2 and two stops to Europe’s largest retail centre, Westfield at Stratford and Queen Elizabeth Park.
The recent acquisition by Chinese developer ABP (Advance Business Parks) of 35 acres of land adjacent to City Airport at Albert Docks is a major coup for London with the Mayor Boris Johnson stating the multi-billion investment will make this location London’s third financial centre.
