In July the Planning and Transportation Committee gave permission for the construction of a new building in Cornhill ward and within the Eastern City Cluster at 55 Bishopsgate. It will be 284 metres tall, the third tallest tower in the Square Mile. The scheme consists of a 63 storey and a 22 storey mixed use building delivering 103,000 sq. metres of office space which will include co-working and affordable space. It will become an exemplar of the City Corporation Climate Action Strategy with urban greening features and renewable energy technologies. There will be 1400 long stay cycle spaces. At ground level the building will be open providing 2545 sq. metres of new public realm flowing through to the wider Bishopsgate area. This space will provide the ability to support for events and pop-ups, digital screens, art installations and landscaping.
