52-54 Lime Street:
52-54 Lime Street is the address of a skyscraper approved for construction on Lime Street in London's main financial district, the City of London. Although it has no official or formal name yet, it has been
nicknamed the Scalpel because of its distinctive angular design. Upon completion in 2017 the building will be 190 m (620 ft) tall, with 38 storeys. It was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, who were also the architects of the nearby Heron Tower, the City's tallest building.
The site is on the corner of Lime Street and Leadenhall Street, opposite the Lloyd's building and adjacent to the Willis Building. The skyscraper is being built for global insurance company W. R. Berkley and will be its new European headquarters, occupying one-quarter of the proposed 59,269 square metres (638,000 sq ft) of floor space. A small proportion of that space will be occupied by a retail shop at street-level and a basement restaurant on the Leadenhall Street frontage, and by a café at the Lime Street entrance.........Wikipedia >>
