8 Bishopsgate

Where sustainability reaches new heights

Partners
Mitsubishi Estate Company

8 Bishopsgate is a landmark 50-storey tower on the corner of Bishopsgate and Leadenhall Street. The UK’s tallest building to achieve BREEAM Outstanding, it combines 560,000 sq ft of office space with an array of amenities including a 200-seat auditorium, welcoming places to eat and drink, and terraces to take in the astounding views. All in all, it’s a brilliant backdrop for business.

Where we started

Our vision was to optimise the full potential of this prominent City of London site, developing a 50-storey, environmentally responsible tower on the corner of Bishopsgate and Leadenhall Street, filled with vibrant, generous spaces for working, recharging and coming together.

“We can’t emphasise enough how important the new office at 8 Bishopsgate is to us, on a strategic, symbolic, practical and professional level. We launched with a handful of people in rented office space so announcing a new state-of-the-art office is a perfect way to celebrate our 20th anniversary and start the next two decades.”

What we did

Seriously sustainable

Completed in May 2023 in partnership with Mitsubishi Estate, this 50-storey building comprises 560,000 sq ft of offices characterised by an elegant material palette, high levels of natural light, excellent air quality, and a landscaped communal terrace. Sustainable by design, 8 Bishopsgate is the first tower to speculatively target — and now achieve — a BREEAM Outstanding and EPC A rating. The building has been developed to achieve low embodied carbon in both construction and operation — helping the people and businesses working here to meet their own sustainability targets, now and in the future.

Bursting with amenity

Ensuring 8 Bishopsgate is promising for people as well as planet, this place is bursting with amenity. Over 75,000 sq ft of the building is designed for learning, relaxing and gathering, including the Think Tank, a 200-seat auditorium — plus meeting rooms and executive suites, the Corner Café, the Twenty Six Kitchen, Bar & Terrace, and multiple private terraces. 8 Bishopsgate also features The Lookout, a free public viewing gallery and event space on the 50th floor with stunning views.

What makes
this place great

Thoughtfully designed inside and out, our bold Bishopsgate tower adds to the City of London’s dramatic landscape of contemporary architecture and beckons to progressive businesses and curious visitors alike.
