Overview

5 Broadgate is the headquarters for the Union Bank of Switzerland UBS housing office and trading floors in the City of London EC2.

The 12-storey office building designed by MAKE architects provides over 700,000 sq ft (66,890 sq m) of new space.

Buildings at 4 and 6 Broadgate were demolished to make way for the new building that is occupied by Swiss bank UBS (committed to the building until 2035).

The building has a stainless steel façade, with its bold cutbacks and terraces and sophisticated mix of environmental systems. The cladding system balances natural daylight with high levels of thermal and solar insulation, providing an envelope that is 65% solid.

- 4 football pitch-sized floors with cores pushed to the perimeter. The 13.5m x 12m structural grid ensures long-term spatial flexibility with the potential to accommodate up to 3,000 traders.
- Double-height reception
- Two conference and visitor facility floors
- Lifts are expressed with vertical slots to maximise the scenic views
- the second biggest array of photovoltaic cells and solar thermal panels in the City of London
- a substantial area of green roof
- 70% waste recycling
- FSC-certified timber
- BREEAM Excellent rating.
- Watkins Payne supplied building services engineering, BREEAM duties and energy consultancy to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and an EPC A rating.

The nearest tube station is Liverpool Street.
