A 500,000ft2 office development in the City has taken a significant step closer to reality with the granting of consent to the scheme by the City of London Planning and Transport Committee. Hammerson’s 121 & 123 London Wall Place development will require the demolition of St Alphage House and will be built out in two towers, rising to 16 stories and will incorporate landscaped roof gardens, as well as extensive open spaces around London Wall and St Alphage's Church Tower , which remains.
Further bridges will be added to the Barbican’s famous highwalk system, which is retained, allowing easy access to all parts of the City
The scheme will prove a tricky project to undertake as the site is relatively constricted and is situated in the heart of the Barbican, which is well populated with local residents, many of whom are high profile.
It is expected the site will be built for completion in 2014 with full occupation to be achieved in 2015.
