Yes I agree with you.

I know I will get trolled for this

No you're absolutely right. Glass boxes look good IMO and they look good in Canary Wharf, The City is where all the weird buildings go lol.

Construction of London offices at 25 Churchill Place begins

Construction of the new London offices of the European Medicines Agency has commenced.

The 500,000 sq ft building at 25 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf will deliver offices spread across 20 floors, with completion scheduled for 2014. The agency last year agreed to pre-let 250,000 sq ft of the available space.

In addition, the premises is the final London offices site to be constructed under the original Canary Wharf master plan.

Commenting on the news, Canary Wharf Group's managing director of development John Pagano said: "25 Churchill Place will provide a major boost to the local economy, in terms of jobs and contracts and [retain] yet another world-class organisation in central London."

Why do the other CW towers look so stumpy in that render?

It will fill some vacant airspace and disappear into the rest of CW's restrained skyline. I think its fine, stumpy for sure, but fine.

The atrium at the top looks amazing! Kind of like a low budget corporate version of 20 Fenchurch Street Tower's sky garden.

The Barclays building needs a friend. Always looks a little segregated due to the layout of the estate as it is. It's a decent size as well, pretty much the same as CityPoint. Very welcome news for the estate.

Haven't seen anyone post any pics of this one for ages, looked like a fair bit of progress has been made:

Sorry about the crap quality - awful camera on my phone and the windows in my meeting room at HSBC had these annoying fixed shutters that I had to peek through

JD47 · March 5th, 2012, 09:55 PM

Good progress has been made.

core rising : )

B890bT · March 5th, 2012, 11:19 PM

thats a good couple of floors up now

amazed at how quietly and unnoticed this project has gone so far

Core Rising · March 6th, 2012, 12:12 AM

Awesome vantage point you have there graham228221. I wish I didn't have to work, I can't wait to get over to CW to take some pics of this!

The shutters in the HSBC building are a pain. I accidentally snapped some off taking some pics on the 36th floor last year.

scalatrava89 · March 6th, 2012, 12:22 AM

Notice the signage on the slip form; '25 Churchill Place' 'a great neighborhood'. Great to see Canary Wharf cracking on with this project.

Oh wow a core all of a sudden. Happy birthday.

Marquinho01 · March 6th, 2012, 09:14 AM

I'd be curious to see when once built this is going to be visible on the skyline. Say from Primrose Hill, Hampstead Heath or any other vantage points across the city. Does anyone have an idea?

Core Rising · March 6th, 2012, 10:04 AM

No, anywhere North or West of CW you will not be able to see it because of all the other skyscrapers in the line of sight. It will however be very visible from Greenwich Park to the South, and when looking from the Royal docks and Shooters Hill in the East.

Medenine · March 6th, 2012, 01:43 PM

Ah excellent I thought my thread was dead..

fauxhunter · March 6th, 2012, 01:52 PM

It might rise as quickly as 20 fenchurch street did !
