Great images. We could squeeze another tower onto the site of the abandoned bit of Broad Street viaduct immediately north of the tower plus the air rights above the Liverpool Street approach tracks immediately to the east, in combination that's a decent sized site.

That's the site of Foster's Norton Folgate site isn't it?

Off topic I know, but that pic reminds me that a friend had some friends from New York staying... He recommended they go up St Paul's Cathedral for the view... They returned from their day out very impressed with the view, saying that it was so high up they could even see the Eiffel Tower from there :rofl:

^ i find that hard to believe! how on earth?? !!!!

It will be the Crystal Palace tv tower they are seeing.

yes. i find it shocking how they could think they could see paris from there! it cant be true!

Yep thats the Hammerson Northgate site.

A scoping application went in towards the end of last year with the potential for a 30 storey office tower & a 50 storey resi/hotel scheme. It was supposed to go in for planning application by now but it appears to be delayed till later int he year for some reason.

Henderson to move to new Broadgate HQ
12:21 | 10.05.07

British Land has fully let its 201 Bishopsgate development at its Broadgate estate in the City of London with a letting to Henderson Group.

As revealed in Property Week (news, 09.03.07), British Land has let the remaining 124,000 sq ft in the building to fund manager Henderson on a 20.5 year-lease with an option to extend for a further five years.

The 201 Bishopsgate scheme, along with the adjoining Broadgate Tower, is one of two new buildings that form the latest phase of Broadgate, providing 822,000 sq ft of space. A further 223,000 sq ft at 201 Bishopsgate is under offer to solicitor Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw. Taking into account space on which Mayer Brown and Henderson have options, 201 Bishopsgate is 100% let and under offer.

Henderson will relocate from its headquarters at 4 Broadgate and British Land is taking an early surrender of its current lease. Surrender will coincide with Henderson occupying its new space, which, after fitting out, is likely to be late 2008.

Following surrender, British Land is proposing to develop a significantly larger office building on the site at 4 Broadgate. Design work is being progressed and a planning application is expected by mid 2008. This is the first stage of unlocking future redevelopment potential at Broadgate under the Broadgate 2020 master planning exercise.

British Land chief executive Stephen Hester said: ‘This deal is further endorsement of our commitment to providing well specified and well timed new developments and working with our occupiers to help them meet their changing business needs’.

Good news for 122 Leadenhall, and the site mentioned there, 4 Broadgate, is significantly smaller than the 201 Bishopsgate/Broadgate Tower site. The fact that the scheme will be 'significantly larger' gives the impression that this new building will be a highrise. 100m-200m possible, and it will be closer to the main cluster:

Shows 100m, 150m, and 200m representations. We will see how tall it is next year.

Thanks for the update, nice pics!

New website with video -

http://www.201bishopsgateandthebroadgatetower.com/britishLandFlashContent.html

Click on "animation" when you get to the menu.

I think we can expect the same for 122 Leadenhall very soon:D

^^ That's an awesome video! Another cityscape creation? Will they ever release that video of Leadenhall Tower to the public?

Like I said, we should see it. This one, I believe, is very recent. There is no reason we will not see the Leadenhall video.

That video is absolutely stunning...I already wish the tower was completed now! I've never actually felt so positive towards this tower until now.

Now I can't wait to see the other projects getting underway! (And it's about time!)

For those that cannot see the video (as that happens sometimes when you don't have the right plugins or whatever)

ooohh so now i actualy understand what it looks like!!! looking fine...

Nice Video!

Blends very well london, hopefully it will get a couple of tall neighbors to go with it :)

I still don't like the 'back' of it... It seems a bit clumsy to me

Last few pieces of steelwork going on...

Yeah, i'm wondering the same thing...

yes it has topped out.

Yeah they were.;)

Heya. First Post here, and I hope this doesnt offend any serious sky scraper fans on here, don't know if this is against ethics or not.

Here are some pictures that I took a while back of the tower, myself and a friend of mine explored the tower block, and were truly amazed by the immense views, being a midlander myself, I am always awestruck by the large scale of the London skyline.

anywho, here are the pictures, hope you enjoy.

Nice pics though you naughty boy.

Nice building but it won't contribute very much to the "skyline"

Great pics mate! You should have lots of nice towers to climb soon, 122 Leadenhall is well into demolition, and Heron and Bishopsgate have just started too, so in a couple of years you should be able to get the best views anyone has ever had of London before they are complete and anyone else gets a chance, just make sure you take some pics! Oh, and be careful, we need them photos;)

Nice building but it won't contribute very much to the "skyline"

It actually can be seen from many vantage points & is quite prominent from many views.

yes the building is much more prominent that people may think

London Lad, its not "strictly" illegal but I guess its going to be frowned upon by most.

Thanks for the comments, I'll be getting more pictures from high building sites around the country as and when, and will post them before any official pictures are given.

Final steel beam went into place this evening. Just the cladding to finish now. :)

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b387/wjfox2005/London_general/broadgate/179.jpg

i must admit i like this tower very much! :)

I like this tower a lot too, i'm looking forward to seeing the finished thing, i don't think the renderings do a very good job of showing what it will look like.

This one, for instance, makes the building look like a strip, and like it gets begger at the top - i don't know if anyone else gets the same impression..?

Trespass isn't illegal, so it doesn't really matter. Perhaps if more people could actually get their heads round this liberating fact, then more people would admire the city at night from 500ft like Turkey did (nice pictures BTW).

So, is the tower going to have a flat roof, or a sloping one like in the renderings?

It has a flat roof. Perspective makes it looks like it slopes on the renderings.

The cladding has started poking above the lower portion of the building so is appearing on the skyline and looks mighty impressive.

Trespass is not generally a criminal offence, but the owner of land may seek civil remedies against a trespasser. I think if anyone needs to get their head around anything........

Nice building, but not elegant.

best skyline in the world: London.

^ Heh, I wouldn't go that far. :)

best skyline in the world: London.


Lol...London is the best in the world at many things, but Skyline isnt one of them...:lol:

Here are some pics I took this morning. This was the first time I'd seen the building up close, at full height. I have to say, it looks enormous from Shoreditch. It has a major impact on the area... a proper skyscraper for sure.

Also, I think the cladding looks superb now and I have no worries about the 'back' at all.

I was about to take some pics looking up, when my camera batteries ran out! I managed to get a video just before this though -

http://www.livevideo.com/video/0856F39CDE92428EB148962F2DCA129C/broadgate-tower-london.aspx

Excuse the quality (rather dark and the weather was miserable)...

The X shape pattern make it cooler, nice addition for 'the City'!

Btw, there's no core in it? :?

No core, the whole thing is one big steel frame.

the building is hudge from some angles, comparing with others, still the wide transparent glass makes the volume like a translucid wall. and it doesn t look 'heavy'. hope the interior will be open space and this transparency will be kept.
i like those visible frames also.

that's going to be one cool building:shocked:

Nice one mate. I was going to take some pics of it myself tomorow to update the thread. But it seems you beat me to it. :okay:

Do you live near it btw?

Great pics Medo :applause:

You get a good view of it on the skyline coming into London Bridge station, and yesterday (ex-Brighton Pride) I have to say it looked far less clad than in these photos... must be a perspective thing.

Awesome, looks far better than in the renders.

^^ It does, doesn't it? Renderings never come close to getting the reflections right.

London is so incredible.....I have a love affair with it now, and i´ve noticed that wherever I go others do too. It is the best. This building is lovely !

you're not the only one:)

^^

Good man. I am in Mexico City which is nowhere near the greatness of London....nowhere near but I am here. One day I will live in London.

Back to the topic in hand. The exposed structure on that building was a great great move.

Great pics Medo :applause:

The North facing side is almost completely clad, while the South facing side is less than halfway clad. You must have seen the less clad side. :)

Nice colours

Aye, it was the south side that I saw on Saturday coming into London Bridge... But I see the the north side from my bedroom and there's still about 10 unclad floors... I suppose that as I can't see the lower portion of the tower that makes it look really un-clad, but in reality its over 2/3 clad therefore.

looks sleek.

^^ this angle is just great. i like how the smaller building connects with the other neighbour ones, while the tower is rising peacefully.

The cladding has come far! Great!

The cladding sure is fantastic and it will look wonderful when it is finished...Does anybody else thinks it looks stumpy from certain angles?

Nice tower, but not in my type. I wonder who's a designer of it.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill are the designers , British Land is the developer...

^ Thanks a lot.

walked around it the other day. Nice cladding. I like the stainless steel edges also :cheers:

great tower, london needs more of these! (and higher of course;))

^^ amazing picture!



not seen this angle before!

Love that shot :banana:

Is that taken from Balfron Tower? The angle / distance looks about right

What the hell are those three tall cores going up just to the left of Broadgate (closer to the camera)

Those are the cores for the new Royal London Hospital Development,

Nice tower, but from almost every angle apart from that fantastic skyline shot, the building looks way, way smaller than 165m.

From the first picture above it doesn't even look 100m tall.

I reckon this will be externally complete within 2-3 weeks.


http://i24.tinypic.com/14mrqj5.jpg

Can't Wait to see it completed shortly! It was a pretty quick construction process I must say. We will soon have much better projects to turn our attention too however:)

love the glassy cladding...cnt w8 until thoes crans move on n stop it from lookin all cluttered up...

looks really nice
i cant wait to visit england during the march break
so excited

WOW!

I saw it from South London today, on the train to London Bridge... it looks really cool. Each of the diamond cross-braces was glinting in the sun - it really stood out on the skyline. :cool:

And its FINISHED!!!

Looking good :yes:

I've always had reservations about the "back" of this one. The design is awful but luckily I think the cladding is good enough to hide it's blatancy.

I agree about the "back" of the tower. It's just that: a "back". Architects should consider views from all sides when designing something this tall. The vertical columns of metal cladding that end 2/3 of the way up just look awkward.

That being said, I really like the rivets in the structurally expressive cross-braces. It gives it a unique texture.

Cladding has reached the final floor on the southern side -

it looks abit too bulky from this angle compared t the other towers, i prefer it from side on where it looks more slender and graceful

definitly agree. the london city skyline is full of bulky towers

Great pics DarJoLe, this tower has turned out well, the materials are top-notch. But I guess that's what you come to expect from SOM:)

Gobsmacked with those photos, well done to all.

Wow, what a super tower!

:cheers:

very nice project

thanks for the photos DarJoLe

Those steel bracing stiffenner does really worsen the elevation...:(

I like! I like! I'd sell my soul if we could get a few more towers like this one.

I am gobsmacked by some of these photos. Perhaps you do not realise just how good some are. Please post these in the UK forum, in the photos of London thread.

i sometimes think that from certain angles london almost looks a bit like los angeles...becuase you have the wide flat sprawling suburbs with a small but nicely formed cluster of skyscrapers

i sometimes think that from certain angles london almost looks a bit like los angeles...becuase you have the wide flat sprawling suburbs with a small but nicely formed cluster of skyscrapers

Thats exactly what i thought, the skyline sort of has the same shape too, although i prefer London's one, plus it has two clusters.

London really does look like LA from the hills to the North and South.

For those who know London, the view from Suicide Bridge in Archway, on a hot summers day (with lots of smog), is a dead ringer for LA.

Wouw these pics are amazing!!

Like LA but not, especially as London is actually good.

Sensational photos!

bravo for the pics! nice building. go London!

^Could you maybe resize that picture?

This building prove that size does not matter ;) Nice adding to London's skyline

if london did not have skyscrapers it would look like a maze with those 5 or 8 stories apartments. london skyline is shaping really well

Offcourse I can resize it. I'm sorry Editing post later.

Stunning!
God only knows what kind of projects might get proposed in 2012.
Hopefully we'll eventually get a 300-350 metre tower in the city.
