A 1,000ft skyscraper nicknamed the Tulip is set to be the tallest building in the City of London.
If approved it will be twice as tall as the Gherkin and 250ft taller than the Heron Tower, the City record holder, but 16ft shy of the Shard, across the Thames in Southwark.
A planning application for The Tulip, which will be London’s first purpose-built viewing platform, with no office space, was submitted to the City of London last week.
It will be funded by J. Safra Group, an American finance and property company, and it has been designed by architecture firm Foster + Partners. They are also the respective owners and architects of The Gherkin.
