Land Securities’ plans to develop a mixed use scheme next to the Old Bailey on the west side of the City of London have been approved.
Designed by Make Architects, the “half-donut” at 30 Old Bailey will comprise a contemporary nine-storey building which curves inwards around a dramatic public plaza which will provide a new pedestrian route joining Limeburner Lane with Old Bailey, and reintegrating the site with The development will also comprise approximately 423,000 sq ft of office accommodation and 41,000 sq ft of retail which will provide further amenities for the local area. Mike Hussey, managing director of Land Securities’ London Portfolio said: ‘The new scheme at Old Bailey is an exciting design, with flexible floorplates which will appeal to the next wave of occupiers seeking high quality and efficient accommodation. As with the City of London, we expect interested parties to recognize the attention to detail and the potential for this building to be a strong contributor to the growing attraction of the City as a place to work’’.       |
