Designs for what would be the City of London’s tallest building, to be built on the site of the Aviva Tower at 1 Undershaft, EC3, have been revealed.
The Eric Parry-designed scheme, developed on behalf of Asian billionaires Juok Khoon Hong and Martua Sitorus, envisages a 73-storey tower rising 1,016ft, the same height as the Shard, SE1.
It would feature just under 1m sq ft of office space in regular floorplates, supported by a skeleton of diagonal steel columns. Plans also include a high-level public restaurant, viewing gallery and 50,000 sq ft of public realm linking the new public square in front of the neighbouring Leadenhall Building.
JLL is advising the Singapore-based developer, Aroland Holdings.
