Start date for £1.4bn London Gotham City offices
The long-delayed 40 Leadenhall Street office scheme in the City of London has finally got a start date in 2020.
In a significant vote of confidence in the City, the stalled scheme has been salvaged with plans to invest £875m to buy and build on the site. The 900,000 sq ft project has been nicknamed Gotham City.
Construction will now start early in 2020 once clearing has been completed of the key Leadenhall Triangle site to allow building of two stepped towers of 14 and 34 storeys.
The new buildings’ carbon emissions will be 30% below current regulations and are expected to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating.
