The City of London’s Planning Committee has on 31/1/25 granted approval for Brookfield Properties’ 99 Bishopsgate development, a new 54-storey office tower of exceptional design quality set to transform the northern gateway into the City Cluster and due for completion in 2031.
Designed by RSHP, 99 Bishopsgate prioritizes adaptive reuse, retaining the existing foundations, which make up nearly 50% of the building’s mass, to reduce embodied carbon.
Andy Sturgeon Design are responsible for the landscaping element of the development which includes public realm, vertical gardens and expansive terrace spaces. The development will also introduce seamless new pedestrian routes, connecting Liverpool Street Station to the heart of the City and will be animated by extensive landscaping.
Inspired by ecological succession we have created a series of species rich habitats that colonise the building and are adapted to the unique environments at different levels. Our design work includes tree planting and landscaping in the public realm, as well as external terraces, double and triple storey height winter gardens and biodiverse green roofs. The development also includes many interior trees and will make a stunning contribution to the London skyline.
