British Land has submitted a planning application for a 32-storey tower at 2-3 Finsbury Avenue Square, EC2.
The development would require the demolition of an existing building that is the headquarters of UBS.
Designed by Arup Associates, the tower would comprise 550,000 sq ft of offices across four elements, the tallest of which would rise to 32 storeys.
The proposals include a new route and double-height arcade of shops linking Finsbury Avenue Square with Sun Street and Old Street.
A public restaurant, café and roof terrace at level 14 accessed via scenic lifts from Finsbury Avenue Square and a flexible conference and event space with panoramic views across London are also included in the plans.
UBS is to move its headquarters to British Land’s recently completed 5 Broadgate, EC2.
