Brookfield Properties’ plans to build a 54-storey tower at 99 Bishopsgate, EC2, are up for approval at the City of London Corporation’s planning committee meeting on 31 January.
Recommending the project for approval, planning officers noted the development could have some low to very slightly less than substantial harm on nearby heritage assets, due to impact on views, but nonetheless deemed that this was outweighed by its economic benefits.
If approved, the proposals would deliver 1m sq ft of office space, almost 13,500 sq ft of retail, food and beverage space, and a 26,000 sq ft “cultural pavilion building” to be used for exhibitions, commercial events and creative workspace.
