One Silk Street will deliver a best in class office building which will make the best use of this highly accessible site, responding to the requirements set out in the City of London’s City Plan and the London Plan. We will also deliver a series of benefits for the local area, which have been designed for the local community, operators of cultural spaces and workers, as well as visitors to the area.
