A joint venture between Lendlease and LCR has won planning permission for a 600,000 sq ft building at International Quarter London in Stratford.
The building, the largest of three planned for the site, will create 1.2m sq ft of grade A office space for more than 7,000 employees and will be complete by the end of 2019.
The International Quarter is part of the development of the Olympic Park site, expected to create 4m square feet of space, with 25,000 working there each day.
Ben O’Rourke, Lendlease managing director of IQ London, said: “This building reflects IQ London’s focus on creating a pioneering workplace for progressive businesses, placing culture, health and wellbeing at its heart.”
David Joy, chief executive of LCR, which is wholly owned by the Department for Transport, said: “This will be an exceptionally designed building, with exemplerary grade A office space for over 7,000 employees to join the ranks of the Financial Conduct Authority and TfL’s new headquarters, both of which are progressing well.”
