Overview

Verdant at 150 Aldersgate Street is an office development by Topland next to Barbican in London EC1.

The 10-storey building designed by Fletcher Priest Architects comprises 135,000 square feet of office space.

It has an accessible double-height permeable office reception, with two entrances at 150 Aldersgate Street and 3-4 Bartholomew Place

The Verdant comprises 11 levels, each with unique features. The top 10th level, offering the least office space, spans 2,099 sq ft. In contrast, the 1st level provides the most expansive area, covering 17,405 sq ft. Terraces are a common feature across all levels, excluding the first. These outdoor spaces vary in size, from 178 sq ft on levels 3 to 6, up to a spacious 2,130 sq ft on the 8th level. Please note that these measurements are subject to final confirmation.

The building is designed with wellness in mind, incorporating elements such as lightwells and terraces to create a pleasant working environment. The reception area is indicative of the overall design aesthetic of the building.

The Verdant office building incorporates several sustainability features:

- Energy-efficient ventilation, cooling, and heating systems.
- Encouragement of health and well-being with terraces on every floor (excluding the 1st) and new planted areas to enhance biodiversity.
- Reuse of approximately 80% of the existing structure and use of recyclable materials where possible, contributing to low embodied carbon.
- Waste reduction strategies.
- Targeting a "BREEAM" Excellent rating, a leading sustainability assessment method.
- Encouragement of cycling to work with 250 bicycle spaces.
- Reduction of potable water consumption.
- High-performance glazing and building fabric.
- Low energy lighting and automatic lighting control systems.
- Building management system to control heating and energy monitoring.
- Natural ventilation and zero fossil fuels used in building services.
- Biophilic design integrated into architecture.
- Double the City of London required Urban Greening Factor.

The best-in-class occupier amenities include a ground floor café and lounge alongside substantial
provisions for bicycle racks, lockers, showers and changing rooms.

The development, at the heart of the Culture Mile, will also improve the pedestrian experience with the introduction of level access to the building and the upgrading of Braidwood Passage with new lighting and public art.
