Landsec lodges plans for £500m City office scheme
6/7/23
The 480,000 sq ft scheme designed by Fletcher Priest Architects will involve demolition of the existing 55 Old Broad Street building, the link bridge over Wormwood Street and partial demolition of the southern and northern ends of 65 Old Broad Street.
In its place, the developer aims to build a 23-storey office building, plus a 5-storey building on the L-shaped footprint of the site. The scheme will also renovate the listed Bath House.
Existing building at 55 Old Broad Street site will be demolished
The partially retained building, 65 Old Broad Street building will provide over 350 sqm of 'maker space' workshops and studios designed to meet identified local need in this part of London.
The project team includes Atelier Ten as M&E consultant, with Heyne Tillett Steel as structure and civil engineering consultant and Turner & Townsend providing project management.
Contractor BAM has been helping Landsec with the demolition and construction plan in advance of planning being submitted.
Demolition work is expected to start on site in the first quarter of 2025 starting the 3.5-year build programme.
