Overview

The development consists of two buildings. The taller, 37-storey, East Tower will reach a height of 156 metres (511 feet)[1] while the shorter West Tower will be 21 storeys tall. The two towers are connected by a 12-storey podium. The complex was designed by Danish architectural firm 3XN. Construction began in 2024.[2]

The buildings feature a series of faceted triangles on the facade. The complex is being developed as a joint venture between British Land and GIC[3][4], while Sir Robert McAlpine has been chosen for the construction of the development.[5] The buildings will target net zero carbon in construction and operation as well as a BREEAM "Outstanding" certification.

Hedge fund Citadel and market maker Citadel Securities will lease over 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) of workspace upon the completion of the development.[6][7]
