Land Securities has submitted plans for a new tower at 20 Fenchurch Street, EC3, in the City of London.
LandSec plan to replace an existing tower with a new 630 ft tower incorporating approximately 850,000sq ft of office space and 12,000 sq ft of retail space.
The 45-storey building has been designed by architect Rafael Viñoly.
Mike Hussey, Managing Director of Land Securities’, London Portfolio, said: “20 Fenchurch Street is a rare opportunity to replace a dated building with a scheme of exceptional quality designed by a world class architect.
“The design will enhance the skyline, local streetscape and the emerging cluster of tall buildings in the City.
“The building exploits the potential of the site with a mix of uses, leading edge design and a significant improvement to the public realm which responds to the local context and heritage considerations.
“It will also aim to achieve new benchmarks in environmental performance and energy consumption.”
