RSHP is working up designs for a “landmark” 240-m-tall, 54-story skyscraper, which would be the Square Mile’s fourth-tallest tower, to replace contractor Multiplex Europe’s headquarters at 99 Bishopsgate in London, U.K., Building Design reports. The existing 28-story building at 99 Bishopsgate would be demolished and the new building would more than triple the office space. The new 99 Bishopsgate scheme would better connect the site to the surrounding area and the Elizabeth Line connection at Liverpool Street station with an “extensive new animated public realm” at ground floor and new wayfinding routes through and around the site. The scheme will also be “visibly green,” with extensive vertical planting, and include a wide variety of commercial and retail space. If built, the new 99 Bishopsgate is keeping with the heights of other towers in the area, including the proposed 1 Undershaft, 22 Bishopsgate and recently approved plans by AFK for a 269-m tower at 55 Bishopsgate.
