By the year end, sales of 449 apartments out of the total of 484 apartments had completed. Residential sales relates to the sale of 26 (2023: 66) apartments during the year.
There is continuous monitoring of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the business of the Company by the group, Canary Wharf Group Residential Limited ('Group') and Stork Group has been undertaken through regular assessment and formal quarterly reports to the Board. Canary Wharf Group Residential Limited is the company's immediate parent undertaking whilst Stork HoldCo LP is the company's ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party. The Board focuses on the risks identified as part of Stork Group’s systems of internal control which highlight, amongst others, key risks faced by the Group and Stork Group and allocate specific day to day monitoring and control responsibilities as appropriate. The current risk of the Group and Stork Group, which directly impact the company, include the current geo political climate and its potential impact on the economy, the cyclical nature of the property market.
The past 12 months have marked the most significant escalation in international conflict and Geopolitical tensions in the past 50 years, with conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Group’s exposure to these trends is indirect and limited to exposure to increased energy costs and implications for global supply chains.
The Group’s controls include enhanced monitoring of global developments by specialist inhouse teams and external providers, and forward planning and scenario analysis in terms of energy requirements. The Group maintains strong relationships with occupiers, suppliers and agents to ensure it can appropriately react to changing geopolitical climates and how this might impact the business.

The Group maintains strong relationships with occupiers, suppliers and agents to ensure it can appropriately react to changing geopolitical climates and how this might impact the business.
The valuation of the Company’s assets are subject to many other external economic and market factors. In recent years, the London real estate market has had to cope with fluctuations in demand caused by key events such as the 2008/2009 financial crisis, uncertainty in the Eurozone and the implications of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and sanctions imposed on Russia as a consequence.
The rapid rise in interest rates has caused a significant turmoil to the debt and capital markets impacting adversely on investor confidence. These factors have had negative implications for the investor sentiment towards property market which has impacted the valuations at the year end.
The real estate market has to date, however, been assisted by the depreciation of sterling since the EU referendum and the continuing presence of overseas investors attracted by the relative transparency of the real estate market in London which is still viewed as both relatively stable and secure.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CW ONE PARK DRIVE LIMITED
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OPINION
In our opinion:
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN
We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
In our evaluation of the directors’ conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the company's business model including effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as interest rates, we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the directors and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the company's financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

OTHER INFORMATION
The other information comprises the information included in the strategic and directors' report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the strategic and directors' report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the strategic and directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the strategic and directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT UNDER THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic and directors’ report.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
∙adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
∙certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
RESPONSIBILTIES OF DIRECTORS
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement as set out on page 8, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

CW ONE PARK DRIVE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CW ONE PARK DRIVE LIMITED
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and determined the most significant ones which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those related to the reporting frameworks (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, Companies Act 2006 and UK tax compliance).
In addition, we concluded that there are certain significant laws and regulations that may have an effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and those laws and regulations relating to health and safety, consumer rights, employee matters, environmental, and bribery and corruption practices.
We understood how the company is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making enquiries of management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, by evaluating management's incentives and opportunities for manipulation of the financial statements. This included the evaluation of the risk of management override of controls. We determined that the principal risks were in relation to:
∙journal entries involving unusual account combinations which improve the company’s financial performance through reduction in expenses or increases in income;
∙evaluating the design effectiveness of controls over revenue that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud.
∙potential management bias in journal entries related to significant accounting estimates and any significant transactions outside of the normal conduct of business operations; and
∙transactions with related parties.
Our audit procedures involved:
∙evaluation of the design effectiveness of relevant controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
∙journal entry testing, with a focus on unusual account combinations and those that were posted outside of the usual business process cycle;
∙challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
∙completing audit procedures to conclude on the compliance of disclosures in the annual report and accounts with applicable financial reporting requirements.
Page 11
CW ONE PARK DRIVE LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CW ONE PARK DRIVE LIMITED
These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting those that result from error, as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
The engagement partner assessed whether the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations through the following:
∙understanding of, and practical experience with audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation; and
∙knowledge of the industry in which the client operates.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at:http://www.frc.org.uk /auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value and in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including FRS 102 “the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland”).
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounting policies (see Note 3).
The company meets the definition of a qualifying entity under FRS 102 and has therefore taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions available to it in respect of its separate financial statements. The company is consolidated in the financial statements of its parent, Stork Holdings Limited, which may be obtained at 7 Esplanade, St Helier, JE1 0BD Jersey.
The functional currency of the company is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate.
The principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year and are summarised below.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Sales of apartments are recognised at legal completion and measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable net of VAT. Reservations and stage payments are recognised initially on the balance sheet as deferred residential sales proceeds within trade and other payables.
Service charge income – Service charges and other recoveries include directly recoverable expenditure together with any chargeable management fees and are recognised as they fall due.
Rescinded income comprises reservation fees, deposits and stage payments retained upon cancellation of the apartment sales process by the buyer. Fifty per cent is recognised in the year of cancellation and the remaining fifty per cent is recognised in the following year.
Other income from operating leases is recognised in the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted, including rent free periods, are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore also recognised on the same straight line basis. Direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging new leases are also amortised on the same straight line basis. Contingent rents, being those lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, for example turnover rents, are recorded in the periods in which they are earned.

Work in progress is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes construction costs and development expenditure directly related to the development, including attributable employee and related costs.
Net realisable value is calculated as the amount estimated to be recovered from the development once development work has been completed and the development leased, less costs to complete.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The directors have taken advantage of the exemption in paragraph 1.12c of FRS 102 allowing the company not to disclose the summary of financial instruments by the categories specified in paragraph 11.41.
Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value. A provision for impairment is established where there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the debtor concerned.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other creditors are stated at cost.

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value. A provision for impairment is established where there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the debtor concerned.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other creditors are stated at cost.
Borrowings
Loans payable are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans payable are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and the redemption value being recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the loan, using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows (including all fees that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability.

Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing difference.
Where items recognised in other comprehensive income or equity are chargeable to or deductible for tax purposes, the resulting current or deferred tax expense or income is presented in the same component of comprehensive income or equity as the transaction or other event that resulted in the tax expenses or income.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, deposits held with banks and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less, which are held for the purpose of meeting short term cash commitments.
Cash and cash equivalents also include certain restricted cash balances held in service charge accounts. These balances are maintained in segregated bank accounts and are subject to restrictions under management agreements, which limit their use to covering property-related expenditure on behalf of tenants.
However, these funds are classified as cash and cash equivalents because they are readily available, highly liquid and form part of the Company’s short-term cash management.

The preparation of financial statements also requires use of judgements, apart from those involving estimation, that management makes in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies.
Work in progress
The company uses valuations performed by independent valuers in determining the net realisable value of the company’s work in progress. At the year end the net realisable value exceeded the historical cost.
For the year ended 31 December 2024, the financial statements of the company did not contain any significant items that required the application of significant management judgements, apart from those involving estimation uncertainity.

16.OTHER FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS
As at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 the company had given charges over substantially all its assets to secure the commitments of certain other group undertakings.
CW One Park Drive Limited has acquired a lease which expires in 2261 in residential development sites at Wood Wharf. Ground rent is payable on this site at an amount which is equal to the greater of £63,000 p.a. and the residential ground rent. The residential ground rent is currently £250 per apartment p.a. but has the capacity to increase to £624 per apartment p.a. in the future and will also double every 25 years with the first such increase taking effect on 1 January 2045. These ground rents are payable to CW Wood Wharf (Two) Limited, a member of the CWGIH Group (Canary Wharf Group Investment Holdings) and the entity which has the liability to pay ground rents to a third party.

To rectify this position, after the balance sheet date the Company undertook a capital reduction process. By special resolution dated 24 July 2025, the nominal value of the Company’s 131,000,001 £1 ordinary shares was reduced to £0.00000001 per share, thereby creating significant distributable reserves.
A portion of these newly created distributable reserves has been appropriated to eliminate the deficit created by the prior dividend payment, thereby regularising the position in accordance with applicable company law and accounting standards.
This capital reduction and appropriation occurred after the balance sheet date and does not affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements for the year, but is disclosed here as a non-adjusting post balance sheet event.
