22 Bishopsgate Reaches Practical Completion
Multiplex's 62-storey 22 Bishopsgate tower - planned and sequenced using an immersive 4D virtual-reality model - reaches practical completion, becoming the City of London's tallest building.
- Multiplex announced on 4 December 2020 that 22 Bishopsgate reached practical completion; the 278 m, 62-storey tower is the tallest in the City of London[2][3]
- Designed by PLP Architecture with Multiplex as main contractor; led by AXA IM - Real Assets and Lipton Rogers Developments; onsite from January 2017 with over 1,200 workers at peak and Covid-19 disruption[2][3]
- It replaced the stalled Pinnacle ("Helter Skelter"), begun in 2008 and suspended in 2012 with only the core of the first seven storeys built; an Axa-led consortium bought the site in February 2015 for 550 million pounds and construction of the redesign began in January 2016[2]
- Steel frame with a central concrete core; the tallest building in the world to use the closed cavity facade curtain wall system[3]
- A plan to cut the height by 23 m was approved in February 2017 but withdrawn; it has a free public viewing gallery on the 58th floor at 254 m and a bike park for over 1,000 bicycles[2]
