Nice vision

Newcastle Guy · April 27th, 2006, 05:56 PM

It aint a vision, construction starts in 8 months. It will be built without a pre let, it is fully approved, and it is being built by one of the most trusty developers you will meet.

so, no.

Gherkin · April 27th, 2006, 10:49 PM

Approval of Bishopsgate tower and a construction starting date for Leadenhall tower released within two days of each other.. wow! That's a dam good two days for London

jorgen · April 28th, 2006, 09:55 AM

Counting the months

As it's a British Land project, I expect we can watch this beauty on the webcams as well

gamma_ray_burst · April 28th, 2006, 01:30 PM

I hope it will be a fast rise

eXSBass · April 29th, 2006, 04:48 PM

It will be suprisingly fast when u/c. This is because as the building tapers there is less and less to contsruct!

***wjfox*** · April 29th, 2006, 05:37 PM

Construction will take only 2 years according to the planning report.

Newcastle Guy · April 29th, 2006, 05:45 PM

Excellent! So it should finish by 2009!

I still dont understand wether the whole jan 2007 is start of demolition or start of construction

DarJoLe · April 29th, 2006, 07:34 PM

There's no lift core so it'll be like Broadgate Tower, all steel.

NEWWORLD · April 29th, 2006, 07:56 PM

looks great

Mosaic · April 30th, 2006, 06:30 PM

Just out of sheer curiousity, where is the source of this information? Link? Or did you just hear this?

There's a long interview with Richard Elliot, Head of Construction for British Land, in the April issue of NSC (New Steel Construction).

So, er... you can't get a more reliable source than that

This is Leadenhall Street btw, and the current building can be seen at the end -

The neighbouring St Helens Square, with Tower 42 visible -

A 500 year old church, opposite the building -

Aviva Tower and 30 St Mary Axe -

excellent design when does it start construction?

Newcastle Guy · June 27th, 2006, 09:20 AM

Next year, The current site is demolished in January, so it should probably start actual construction in less than 1 year
