Plans for the tallest office tower in the City of London are being dusted off by new development lead Stanhope.
A consultation has been launched for revised plans for 1 Undershaft, EC3, which was approved as a 73-storey tower with 1.4m sq ft of office space in 2016.
“Whilst this permission could be progressed, given the notable increases in the desire for more wellbeing-led office space, and the City of London Corporation’s new ‘Destination City’ initiative, the team have taken the opportunity to reconsider their approach,” said a statement on the consultation website.
“The new proposals deliver a more wellbeing-led commercial space, with high-quality external spaces, public opens spaces, improved sustainability and a cultural and creative offer.”
The Eric Parry-designed building will be on the site of the existing St Helen’s building, also known as the Aviva Tower.
