Get ready for the world’s largest ever conversion of an office skyscraper in London ✔️ Radical plans have been unveiled to transform 8 Canada Square (the HSBC Tower) in London. HSBC Tower is a 200 metre and 1.1 million sq ft skyscraper in Canary Wharf. When HSBC vacates the tower in 2027, it is set to be redeveloped, including the removal of large chunks from its facade. Plans for the reimagining of the tower have been unveiled by its owners the Qatari Investment Authority and its development partner Canary Wharf Group. The cuts to the tower will carve out new terraces and divide the building into 8 sections that will be easier to lease. The floors next to the large cut out could become a hotel and serviced apartments. The higher floors would become an entertainment complex with museum, restaurant and garden. The lower floors would be new frontage for shops and restaurants. The reimagining has been designed by architects Kohn Pedersen Fox an the overhaul could cost from £400m to £800m

#Flashback. A photo taken exactly 14 years ago today of the construction of The Shard 💛 Designed by Renzo Piano, with Mace as the main contractor, construction of the Shard started on March 16th, 2009. Top-down construction was used, where foundations were dug at the same time as as the core was built up. By March 2010, the concrete core was rising. The photo shows the concrete core after four months. The concrete core topped out at the 72nd floor in early 2011. The Shard’s steel structure topped out on March 30th 2012, when its 66 metre, 500 tonne spire was winched into place. Practical completion of the 309.6 metre iconic skyscraper was achieved in November 2012.
