The tallest building in the City of London has now topped out reaching its highest point in the structure of 294.520mAOD, reports Multiplex.

Representatives from across the project team, including Multiplex, AXA IM – Real Assets, on behalf of an international consortium of investors, Lipton Rogers Developments and PLP Architecture attended the ceremony to mark the important milestone for the project.

Once complete, 22 Bishopsgate will offer 1.275 million sq ft of workspace designed to accommodate 12,000 people and up to 100 companies of various sizes.

The 62-storey tower, with the fastest lifts in Europe, will also house a fresh food market, innovation hub, gym, wellbeing retreat, curated ‘art walk’, business club, cycle hub, destination restaurant, as well as the London’s highest free public viewing gallery.

The unique shape of the floorplate permits flexible floor layouts. New technologies will make life easier for occupiers and their people, while simultaneously simplifying building management for the landlord. It is also the first UK core and shell building to be registered for the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™) WELL Building Standard™ (WELL).

Andrew Feighery, Project Director at Multiplex, commented: “22 Bishopsgate is a truly innovative building in the heart of London’s Square Mile, which will foster a creative environment for the 12,000 people occupying the building.”
