50 Fenchurch Street is an island site bounded by Fenchurch Street, Mincing Lane, Dunster Court, and Mark Lane with numerous existing structures on site including the medieval Tower of All Hallows Staining and the subterranean Lambe’s Chapel Crypt. Our scope involved the PDA role for both the site demolition up to appointment of Principal Contractor and Tower design to RIBA Stage 3.

The proposed 50 Fenchurch Street includes two listed buildings; the Grade I listed Tower of All Hallows Staining and the Grade II listed Lambe’s Chapel Crypt. Neither are currently accessible to the public as they are on private land. 50 Fenchurch Street will provide over 62,000 sqm of flexible office space arranged around a central core.

As part of the City of London’s initiative for a significant increase in urban greening in the built environment, an innovative vertical landscaping proposal forms part of the overall design. All of this is in conjunction with providing the next generation of workplace, which is essential for the City of London’s continued growth as a leading global financial centre.

The proposed scheme sets the Tower within a new street level public realm, with the aspiration of providing public access to the interior.
