Stanhope鈥檚 revised 1 Undershaft and Brookfield鈥檚 99 Bishopsgate among new entries to Square Mile鈥檚 main cluster
The City of London has unveiled images showing how the Square Mile鈥檚 main cluster of towers would look if all approved schemes were built.
Several major schemes have been approved in recent months including Stanhope and Aroland鈥檚 74-storey 1 Undershaft, designed by Eric Parry, which will be the tallest building in the City and the joint tallest in the country when built.
RSHP鈥檚 54-storey 99 Bishopsgate, designed for Brookfield, was also approved by the Corporation in January, while a row of towers along Gracechurch Street have been signed off within the last few years.
The CGIs, which contain all major office schemes which the City has approved or resolved to approve over the past decade, show the scale of the transformation that could come to the cluster over the next few years.
The City鈥檚 policy chairman Chris Hayward said: 鈥淭he City of London is the greatest city in the world. A global economic powerhouse, an ancient city and a centre of collaboration and innovation for the hundreds of thousands of people who work here every day. These new images clearly illustrate the ever-changing nature of London鈥檚 incredible skyline and that the Square Mile鈥檚 real estate sector is robust and thriving鈥�.
The City has a target to build more than 1.2 million sq m of office space by 2040, much of which is expected to be contained within new buildings in the cluster.
