Thanks for the updates everyone.

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing this building rise, it's easy to forget that at 172m this is tall for City standards. I think we're just being spoilt by the 200m+ towers going up, but this will make a significant impact on the skyline.

The whole area in 3 or 4 years time will look immense!

As I walked through the city yesterday, with all the gaps provided by the demolished buildings I was aware of and could see all the taller towers at once - it's an exciting scene already and I too look forward to the addition this building along with all the others going up in the city currently will make to that vista.

Building on the left is St. Helens (Aviva Tower) and to the right is 6-8 Bishopsgate, which will be semi connected to the Pinnacle.

Totally agree
This is one that has actually got taller from the original 150m proposal
Will look the same height as tower 42 from most views

The hoardings are down today and you can see just how vast this site is
Loads of plant wizing around on the site finishing the demo and prepping for piling

Thanks, that one was up for demolition at some point wasn't it?

So does 100 Bishopsgate have a schedule published?

No. Construction will start if a prelet is secured.

By the way do you know if there are any plans to extend tower 42 and give it a new lease of life and hide the unsightly black bit poking out the top?

It's a city gent's hat would you know. Can't get rid of that, the last one left.
