Yeah, exactly...

It's not the size, it's how you use it!

It's been confirmed today that this will be 40 storeys, and a planning application will be submitted in the next couple of months.

The green block shows the height and location of this proposed tower -

Official renderings should be available in a few days.

This has now been officially submitted as a 40-storey tower. The project is to be called 100 Bishopsgate and will feature a huge library, apparently. There's a rendering in Estates Gazette, but I'm not subscribed to it.

What a shame.

Phobos · September 10th, 2006, 07:45 PM

Waiting for the renders

***wjfox*** · September 10th, 2006, 07:52 PM

Soon. Very soon.

In the mean time, here's another of my own -

***Tubeman*** · September 10th, 2006, 09:29 PM

Nice cladding!

Effer · September 10th, 2006, 09:37 PM

So any idea what the rendering is going to look like?

***wjfox*** · September 10th, 2006, 10:37 PM

Well, the site footprint is L-shaped, and the tower will be slightly "twisted"... that's about all I know.

***wjfox*** · September 11th, 2006, 02:45 PM

The 1st official render -

european · September 11th, 2006, 02:51 PM

Hmmm.... I take it its the one in the middle and that's Heron on the right?

Bit hard to tell from the render, but it looks a bit like Minerva would have done from some angles... Not a bad thing, as long as the cladding's top notch.

Judgement reserved for now!

***wjfox*** · September 11th, 2006, 08:39 PM

I've enlarged it -

SkyscraperNews.com lists the height as 165m, but it looks much taller in my opinion! (bearing in mind that Heron Tower, on the right, is over 200m).

Phobos · September 12th, 2006, 02:23 AM

I'll wait for better pictures to judge it,but it doesn't seem it will add too much to the city...

***wjfox*** · September 12th, 2006, 02:44 PM

jonnyboy · September 12th, 2006, 02:52 PM

***wjfox*** · September 12th, 2006, 03:07 PM
