Topland Group chairman and CEO Sol Zakay was quoted by Bdaily News as saying: “We believe there has been an over-reaction to the shifting dynamics of the City’s office market now that hybrid working is here to stay. This, coupled with the prevailing economic headwinds, has seen some developers get cold feet.

“As a result, we are facing a shortage of quality, new space over the next three years. A sustainable, high-quality building situated on the Elizabeth Line route is ideally poised to capture the demand from major corporate occupiers from a number of sectors that are looking for landmark headquarters buildings in what is still one of the world’s premier business locations.”

This project expects to achieve low carbon footprint with the reuse of around 80 % of the current structure.

Besides boosting natural ventilation, the project will feature green roofs, hard and soft landscaping, and external courtyards.
