The proposed scheme will be located in an area which was one of the first to be developed along Marsh Wall of any significance . South Quay 1 was constructed in 1986 and occupied by the Daily Telegraph until the Telegraph 's move to Canary Wharf . The building then lay empty for some time . South Quay 1 was followed by South Quay 2 and then South Quay 3 . For a time in the early nineties , these buildings dominated the area around Marsh Wall as offices until an IRA bomb in late Autumn 1996 which led eventually to the demolition of the original South Quay 1 and 3 . South Quay 2 remained until the Berkley scheme demolished it
