We are committed to creating an efficient and sustainable building, in line with the City of London Corporation’s ambitions.

The team have been looking at the site to understand what will be the most viable, deliverable and long-term future option. They have considered refurbishment, retrofitting and redevelopment. The team concluded that whilst refurbishing or retrofitting the existing building retains the most embodied carbon, they will only ever deliver a compromised solution.

Neither option will be able to resolve the poor quality office space and provide a ground floor that contributes to the success of the area, including:

 Poor natural daylight Inflexible and inefficient floorplates

 Relationships to surrounding streets at ground level

 No raised floor for services

Access and egress for building users

 External amenity space for tenants
