Plans for a large retrofit project at a Square Mile office block have been given the all-clear by the City of London Corporation.
Havisham and JP Morgan Asset Management want to revamp 65 Gresham Street, EC2, adding new public realm and retail outlets as well as increasing the office space.
The scheme will reuse roughly 70% of the existing building’s structure, adding landscaped terraces and three extra storeys.
Shravan Joshi, chairman of the City of London Corporation’s planning and transportation committee, said: “The 65 Gresham Street proposals represent an exemplary retrofit scheme that will provide benefits for everyone.
“Future office tenants and their employees will enjoy a well-connected, high-quality office space, while local resident and visitor journeys through the Square Mile will be enhanced by the public realm improvements and new retail.”
