Kelbray finished enabling work last month allowing piling to get underway on what will be one of the lowest carbon and most biodiverse high-rise towers in the country.
Designed by architect Eric Parry, the building will give the impression of a hanging garden across the facade, pioneering extensive urban greening in the Square Mile.
The building will target BREEAM Outstanding and net zero in operation
The development also includes the retention of the Medieval Tower of All Hallows Staining and Lambe’s Chapel Crypt, which will form part of the extensive public realm being built alongside a new subterranean Livery Hall for The Clothworkers’ Company.
Rob Samuel, UK head of development at AXA IM Alts, said: “Commencing construction with Multiplex marks a significant milestone in the realisation of what we believe is a one-of-a-kind development in the City of London.”
Level 10 landscaped garden will be complemented by more than 40 occupier terraces that will bring over 70 different species of plant life to the site.
