Tower Development Exhibition To Take Place

An exhibition for a tower development in London is due to take place later today.

Plans for the proposed 22 Bishopgate building were displayed on 15 June.

New designs were drawn up following the acquisition of the site earlier this year by a consortium of international investors led by AXA Real Estate.

Lipton Rogers is the developer of the scheme.

The proposed building is 278m and 62 storeys tall, providing over 1.4 million sq ft of net internal area with floor plates shaped to reduce the mass of the building.

At the top of the building will be a public viewing gallery containing dedicated lifts, sitting alongside a two storey public restaurant and bar.

Sir Stuart Lipton of Lipton Rogers said: "22 Bishopsgate will represent an elegant addition to the City of London at the heart of the cluster of tall buildings.

"Technically advanced with care for people at the heart of its strategy and taking new ways of working as its essence, the building will assist personnel to feel motivated and earn its place as the finest working environment in Europe with wellbeing and a range of social facilities that make the work experience less stressful, as well as more uplifting and efficient."

Anna Kavanagh of AXA Real Estate added: "Our commitment to develop 22 Bishopsgate is driven by London's status as one of the preeminent world cities and its continued capacity to generate employment and growth.

"As with our other projects, 22 Bishopsgate has an underlying commitment to create a sustainable building environmentally, socially and economically."

The exhibition will run from 12pm to 2pm and 4pm to 8pm today 19 June and 10am to 4pm on 20 June.
