Commercial
Topping out at 35-storeys, including two basement levels, the tower will offer 40,000m² of office accommodation, a free public terrace at fourth floor level as well as retail space alongside its ground floor double-height entrance lobby.
Located on a plot adjacent to the Grade II*-listed Leadenhall Market, which was once the site of the ancient Roman Forum, this structure joins the cluster of well-known commercial City structures.
The new building’s steel frame begins at basement level one, sitting atop a lower concrete plant level. Having the steel columns founded below the ground floor level is part of the security design strategy.
Wrapped around a centrally-positioned stability giving concrete core, the steelwork supports a concrete ground floor slab, and a composite metal decked flooring solution for all of the upper levels. Floor beams are typically 650mm-deep Fabsec cellular sections that enable the integration of the building’s services within their depth.
