London is poised to reach further out into the sky. Plans are afoot to build scores of new tall buildings across the capital over the next few years in a wave of construction that will reshape the city’s skyline for the next century.
A remarkable 230 high-rise projects of 20 storeys or more have been granted detailed consent since 2017, a rate of more than three per month. Only this week, developer Brookfield Properties revealed it was planning a 54-storey skyscraper at 99 Bishopsgate that, when completed, would be the fifth tallest building in the Square Mile.
