Canary Wharf Group has unveiled plans to remove large chunks from the HSBC tower as part of a revamp of the 42-storey office block when the bank moves out in 2027, in a reflection of the changing face of the east London financial district after the pandemic.
The property company said it would carve out sections of the tower’s facade to create terraces as part of plans to transform the block into a mixed-use building that would include leisure facilities and a public viewing gallery.
