Planning
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 170 m (560 ft) (AOD) on a site bounded by 19–21 and 22 Billiter Street, 49 Leadenhall Street, 108 and 109–114 Fenchurch Street, and 6–8 and 9–13 Fenchurch Buildings.[5] The listed building at 19–21 Billiter Street was retained whilst all other existing properties on the site were 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]
Construction
Following Brexit, the developer announced that construction would only go ahead when a sufficient amount of office space had been pre-let.[9]
In October 2019, it was announced that M&G and Prudential had bought the site and would fund its construction for £875 m, with a final development value of £1.4 bn. The build started in 2020[10] after Keltbray completed clearing the Leadenhall Triangle site. This was undertaken despite there being no pre-let. The building was completed in 2024.[11]
