I know this was talked about in the 201 Bishopsgate thread but thought I'd post it in its own thread
This from Hammersons website (there recent accounts)
Hammerson has paid £4.1 million to Hackney Council for an option for three years to acquire the Northgate land, which currently has planning consent for 71,500 m² (770,000 ft²) of office space. Further amounts will be payable to Hackney Council on exercise of the option and on the granting of planning and the development and leasing phases of the scheme.
Hammerson has also entered into a contract with Lehman Brothers to terminate the latter’s current option arrangement over the Northgate site with Hackney Council.
Hammerson’s revised proposals for the enlarged Northgate scheme, which will include the group’s adjoining Norton Folgate site, are for a mixed-use development of 79,000 m² (850,000 ft²), incorporating around 43,000 m² (463,000 ft²) of office accommodation, residential units, a hotel and public spaces. Hammerson is currently progressing the scheme proposals in consultation with Hackney Council, with a view to submitting a planning application at the end of 2005.
Hammerson acquired the Norton Folgate site, which currently has planning consent for an 18,600 m² (200,000 ft²) office scheme, as part of its acquisition of the Railtrack portfolio in 2002. In addition to Norton Folgate, the group has two further potential office and mixed-use schemes in the area at Bishopsgate Goodsyard and on Shoreditch High Street.
I also came across a pic in there lastest financial reports- Looks like this is now 90,000 sqm half offices & the rest apartments & htoels- Theres even a pic on pg 37 although its not too clear.
The report also mentions they will be submitting a planning app in the next few months.
