40 Leadenhall Street is a proposed office-led development in London that has been approved for construction. It is located within the City of London financial district and is one of a number of new building developments for the area.
Site ownership and location
The development site, known as the Leadenhall Triangle, was purchased by Henderson Global Investors in June 2011 for around £190 million.[4]
It is situated in the Aldgate ward in the eastern portion of the City of London, and is a short distance from the Leadenhall Building and the Lloyd's building.
Planning application
In October 2013 Vanquish Properties (UK) Limited Partnership applied for planning permission to construct a building comprising 10, 14 and 34 storeys to a maximum height of 170m(AOD) on a site bounded by 19-21 and 22 Billiter Street, 49 Leadenhall Street, 108 and 109-114 Fenchurch Street, 6-8 and 9-13 Fenchurch Buildings.[5] The listed building at 19 - 21 Billiter Street is to be retained whilst all other existing properties on the site will be demolished.[6]
Planning permission was granted by the City of London Corporation on 29 May 2014, following a resolution to grant permission by the Planning and Transportation Committee on 25 February 2014, subject to certain planning obligations being met.[7][8]
Design
The building varies in height by being laid in a series of vertical slices ranging from 7 to 34 stories at the Leadenhall Street end.[3]
