What an imaginative building! The top evokes an amusement park ride, albeit in an elegant and sophisticated way. Hope it turns out as well in real life!

According to British Land, this will reach the construction stage next month. Piling and foundation work will begin at ground level, whilst demolition continues overhead. Here's a rendering I did, showing how the skyline might appear in 2009 -

Great rendering! I love this building but even more I love The Bishopsgate Tower (or The Pinnacle, whatever). I love London!

I like the big activities in London!

Temporary steelwork is going up around the base. This will be used to support the remaining floors as they are taken down -

I'm reliably informed that piling work has started on site... this tower is now officially u/c

Here's a 3D visual showing the construction - http://www.architectural3d.co.uk/200...roj_LDH_03.gif

Congrats, London!

I love this building; glad to see it's finally going up (5 years in the works?)

122 Leadenhall will be the perfect companion for the gherkin.

This is one great looking project.

How they organise a build like this in the area it's in is pretty damn amazing!

Should look damn fine on completion!

Whats the best site for the Webcam, official site or some other Cam company??

colemonkee · #57 Posted: **Mar 3, 2008, 11:43 PM**

So will that core be used for the building and built on top of, or will it be demolished?
