Go-ahead for 22-floor London office on stilts

Abstract

Office-led, mixed-use scheme will stand in the shadow of the Shard near London Bridge Station and will also provide a theatre, shops, restaurant, bar, and gym. A contractor has not yet been named but Mace has been acting as construction consultant for CIT. The ultra sustainable project replaces the tired 1960s office block with a striking stepped profile scheme. A highly-optimised façade will significantly reduce energy consumption. In addition, a new lightweight footbridge will connect London Bridge station to the site. A new lightweightfootbridge will replace the current brutalist bridge and London Bridge. The project reinforces CIT’s commitment to the area.
