Bishopgate Tower
Height-288m
Floors-63
Architect-Kohn Pederson Fox
Developer-Union investment real estate AG
Notes:
At 288m, the Bishopsgate Tower will form the dramatic centrepiece and soaring pinnacle of London’s financial district.
It will be over 100 metres taller than the City's current tallest building, Tower 42.
Plans for a tower on this site have been around since 2002. A previous design by Helmut Jahn was rejected after concerns
about the base and top, and its bulky appearance on the skyline. This new design, however, is more sleek and elegantly
proportioned. The architects of this new version, Kohn Pederson Fox, have created a tower which is more sensitive to the
delicate City skyline, especially from Fleet Street, and complements the neighbouring proposals.
My opinion is WOW, I love it and cant wait for construction to start.
