According to the Architects Journal, the city of London has approved Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF)’s proposals for a 32-story tower. This design involves the renovation of a 132-meter space from a 23-year-old retail and office building at 70 Gracechurch Street, northwest of the Walkie Talkie building.
KPF’s proposal also includes a public gallery on the rooftop, green space, and a cultural area on the ground floor. This design is a renovation of a previous 33-story proposal approved in 2021, but KPF had to consult on revised plans in 2024 after the site developer sold it in 2022.
