24-Story Tower Approved in London

Fletcher Priest has been given the green light for a 24-story tower that will be partially cantilevered over a listed Victorian bath house in London, U.K., Building Design reports. The city gave the nod to the scheme, which is adjacent to the 18-story Dashwood House, which Fletcher Priest redeveloped for the same client, then called Land Securities, in 2008. The plans propose the renovation of the grade II-listed bath house, public realm improvements and the provision of a pub. The project would deliver 33,081 m² of new office space, a new pub, retail space and approximately 5,500 m² of ancillary space, Landsec said. Mechanical and electrical consultant Atelier Ten, structural engineer Heyne Tillett Steel, project manager Turner & Townsend and construction consultant Bam are also members of the project team.
