AXA Investment Managers – Real Assets and Lipton Rogers’ proposed 912ft skyscraper at 22 Bishopsgate, EC2, has been approved by the City of London Corporation.
The 62-storey design, which features more than 1.3m sq ft of office space, would be the tallest consented tower in the Square Mile.
The PLP Architects-designed tower replaces KPF-designed plans for the Pinnacle skyscraper on the site at the junction of Bishopsgate and Threadneedle Street.
Anne Kavanagh, global head of asset management and transactions at AXA IM – Real Assets, said: “The City of London’s resolution to grant planning permission for 22 Bishopsgate marks a significant step forward in our plans for this exciting new development which will provide a high quality and environmentally friendly working environment for over 12,000 people in the heart of the City.”
Sir Stuart Lipton of Lipton Rogers said: “22 Bishopsgate has been designed to enhance the quality of life of its occupants by adding amenities which make the work experience more enjoyable and effective.”
