A planning application has been submitted for 150 Leadenhall Street - a new £900m building in the heart of the City. The 40-storey office development will be built on a site currently occupied by 6-8 Bishopsgate, EC2, and 150 Leadenhall Street, EC3, next to the Cheesegrater tower. The Wilkinson Eyre-designed building will provide 770,000 sq ft gross area and include ground floor shops and restaurants and a public viewing gallery at level 40.
MEC London chief executive Naoki Umeda said: “The submission of this application represents Mitsubishi Estate’s confidence in the City of London’s long-term growth prospects as a world financial centre, and its attractiveness for blue chip companies.”
