1 Leadenhall Skyscraper
Design: Make Architects
Brookfield has received a resolution to grant consent from the City of London for 1 Leadenhall, a 36- storey tower.
The £400m skyscraper will be 182.7-metre (600ft) high, and include 36-storeys.
It will be smaller than 1 Undershaft, a 73-storey skyscraper to be the second-tallest building in western Europe after the Shard, at just under 300 metres, and the 255-metre high 22 Bishopsgate.
The building will be sited next to the historic Leadenhall Market.
The developer is Canadian group Brookfield Property Partners. They are also building an office block at 100 Bishopsgate.
1 Leadenhall will have 540,000 sqft of office space, as well as 50,000 sqft of shops and cafes on the ground to second floors.
Bishopsgate corner:
Construction is due to start in 2018 with building completion in 2021.
The tower is designed by Make Architects, led by Ken Shuttleworth the former Foster + Partners architect, and designer of The Gherkin, the famous London skyscraper located close by.
The new tower, adjacent to Leadenhall Market, will offer 28 storeys of office accommodation; significant retail at ground, first and second floors; and a free public terrace overlooking the roof of Leadenhall Market.
1 Leadenhall will replace a 1970s seven-storey office block.
The scheme will complement the architecture of the surrounding buildings and embraces the heritage of its unique setting.
Bishopsgate façade:
The building design has been criticised by conservation charities Historic Royal Palaces and the Victorian Society.
