100 Bishopsgate

100 Bishopsgate is a development of two mixed-use buildings under construction on Bishopsgate in London. The buildings will be situated on the eastern edge of the City of London financial district. Site historyAlong Bishopsgate, the 100 Bishopsgate site spans between St Ethelburga's Church and Camomile Street, with Clerks Lane (or Clarks Lane) separating two portions. In 1993 the IRA exploded a large bomb in Bishopsgate, 7 metres from St Ethelburga's Church. A number of surrounding buildings were badly damaged. A new building on the site was constructed, numbered 58, which included the Public House, the Magpie and Punch Bowl which had operated at that location since 1839. The site was again renumbering to 86 Bishopsgate, and included a new Public House, City House. Subsequently the buildings between St Ethelburga's and Camomile St were demolished to make way for 100 Bisphopsgate. Planning and designBuilding 1 on the site will be a 40-storey tower comprising five floors of 44, 000 sqft each and 32 office floors of between 19, 000-. Building 2 will be a seven-storey structure to be developed behind a retained façade, and will house restaurant and office floors of 8, 000 sqft each. In May 2015, it was reported that building company T Clarke had agreed a revised contract 100 Bishopsgate, with on-site activities scheduled to start in April 2016. Ground engineering work began on the foundations to prepare the project for construction. A planning application was submitted by Great Portland Estates in September 2006 for the redevelopment of a site located at 61 St. Mary Axe, 80-86 Bishopsgate, 88-90 Bishopsgate, 12-20 Camomile Street, 15-16 St. Helen's Place and 33-35 St. Mary Axe. The scheme proposes a mixed-used development comprising three buildings of 38, 16 and 6 storeys respectively. Where building 1 and 2 will be joined for 16 floors before reducing the core size of building 1 which will then continue to level 38.
