Wilkinson Eyre\u2019s plans for a 31-storey office tower in the City of London have been given the green light by Square Mile planners.<\/p>\n

The \u00a3300m scheme at 130 Fenchurch Street follows two rounds of public consultation which took place last year. Developer on the job is CO-RE.<\/p>\n

The 130 Fenchurch Street site, located on the southern border of the City\u2019s main cluster of towers, is occupied by a 16-storey 1950s building, Fountain House, which currently lies vacant. The bulk of the new tower will contain office space with exhibition space in the middle level of the building.<\/p>\n

The chair of the City\u2019s planning\u00a0committee Tom Sleigh said: \u201c130 Fenchurch captures our ambition to unlock growth: a striking new workplace in the heart of the City, with routes and views that open up the City for everyone. This is about more than one building \u2014 it\u2019s part of a pattern of proactive planning decisions that are helping to shape a future-ready Square Mile.\u201d<\/p>\n

Demolition work will begin next year with the tower due to be finished in 2030.<\/p>\n

Others working on the deal include QS T&T Alinea, structures consultant Arup, planning consultant DP9 and heritage consultant Tavernor.<\/p>\n

Contractors have not yet been sounded out but are now expected to be in the coming weeks with likely bidders including Mace, already working on CO-RE\u2019s\u00a0Lansdowne House scheme<\/a>\u00a0at Berkeley Square, and Multiplex,\u00a0which is working on CO-RE\u2019s mixed-use redevelopment of the former ITV Studios site<\/a>. Now called Vista at 72 Upper Ground, the Make-designed scheme at London\u2019s South Bank officially broke ground last week.<\/p>\n

Bovis, which had been lined up for the 72 Upper Ground scheme\u00a0before it was rebid<\/a>\u00a0and when it was known as Lendlease, is also thought to be interested in the job.<\/p>\n

The scheme is being backed by Aviva Investors, which was behind a previous plan for a 17-storey tower drawn up by Farshid Moussavi Architecture which was mothballed more than five years ago.<\/p>\n

Aviva\u2019s portfolio of schemes in the City include One Liverpool Street, designed by Eric Parry and being built by Mace, and 101 Moorgate, also being built by Mace, and designed by John Robertson Architects.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mace and Multiplex are due to find out later this autumn who has won another tower planned for the City.<\/p>\n

The pair had been expected to find out in the spring<\/a> who had won the Dovetail Building for developer Brockton Everlast which is estimated to be worth up to \u00a3400m.<\/p>\n

A decision was then expected in the summer but this has now slipped to before Christmas.<\/p>\n

Designed by AHMM, the Dovetail Building will be built at 115-123 Houndsditch close to Foggo Associates\u2019 Can of Ham and a stone\u2019s throw away from the cluster of towers on Bishopsgate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Full screen in popup The 130 Fenchurch Street scheme will run up to 31 storeys and is due…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-172110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
