A new proposal for an office high-rise in the City of London’s eastern skyscraper cluster is up for planning approval. Proposed by developer Brookfield Properties, the 54-story 99 Bishopsgate project is set to transform the area near Bishopsgate and Gracechurch Street.
If approved, the new building designed by architects RSHP will replace a 28-story structure built in the 1970s that is currently housing the construction company, Multiplex. Demolition would be expected to begin in 2026, with construction starting in 2028 and completion by late 2030. This project is part of the city’s aim to add 1.2 million square meters of office space by 2040.
In addition to office space, the development will enhance public spaces with new cultural offerings, retail, and greenery. Improved pedestrian routes will connect the site to nearby transport hubs like Liverpool Street Station.
