The project is a development by AMWB – a collaboration between Allies and Morrison and Woods Bagot, and is being undertaken by a joint venture between Brookfield and Great Portland Estates. Demolition work is being executed by Keltbray.
The 100 Bishopsgate development will consist of three buildings in all including the 40-storey, 1176 feet tall tower. The buildings will consist of 825,000 square feet of net lettable space including office space, trading floors, a new Livery Hall for the Leathersellers’ Company, a public library and retail space.
The tower has been designed in the form of a parallelogram at the base that rises to a rectangle at the top to overcome the complex geometries of the location. The building features contrasting façade textures and articulated junctions repeated rotationally around the building, with the transition adding a twisting dynamic to the building. A new public square will also be created at the heart of the site with new routes drawn across.
