Gracechurch Street, London
The City of London Corporation has today (26 January) granted planning permission for a 30-storey office-led development in the City Cluster, the Square Mile’s first tall building approval of 2021.
The approved Tenacity scheme at 55 Gracechurch Street, located between Monument station and Leadenhall Market, embodies many of the emerging trends for post-pandemic office space – delivering a ‘workplace destination’ alongside extensive retail, cultural, public art and open space.
The new office areas will include social and breakout zones to promote collaboration and innovation, and the building’s floorplan offers space for large businesses as well as SMEs and growth stage companies.
New Skyscraper approved for City of London
The new skyscraper will feature a free-to-access garden terrace.
A new 30-storey skyscraper has been approved on 55 Gracechurch Street in the centre of the City of London.
The new building, which the City of London Corporation has granted planning permissions for, will be located between Monument station and Leadenhall Market.
It will include social and breakout zones, and the building’s floorplan will offer more than 34,000sqm of office, almost 2,500 sqm of retail and more than 1,600sqm of publicly accessible garden terrace.
The building will be built with an urban greening approach in mind, and include green walls, roofs and tree planning that should reduce noise and air pollution while providing users of the building access to nature and biodiversity.
