🌱Sustainability
BREEAM Outstanding + British Land’s first net zero carbon development
100% of substructure + 50% original superstructure reused = significant reduction in embodied carbon with the addition of 3 new floors
Embodied carbon = 389kg per m2 – industry benchmark for 2020 = 1,000kg per m2
Sustainable supply chain partners: recycled steel + concrete with cement replacement (GGBS) used where new materials were required
🥦 Wellbeing

Excellent end-of-trip facilities for cyclists and runners: 60+ luxury showers and 700 bike spaces
🎈Bonus feature
It is located next to Liverpool Street Station, and next to the Elizabeth Line, above 2 tube lines and above a bus station. Design and build complexities were manifold. Despite challenges, it has significantly enhanced the public realm – improving permeability and access across the whole site.
