The Heron:
The Heron, also known as Milton Court, is a 36-storey residential skyscraper under construction in
London. As of January 2013 the building has been topped out to its full height of 112 m (367 ft). It is being developed by Heron International.
Construction on the building began in 2010 and is scheduled for completion in September 2013. It is located near the Barbican residential estate within the City of London area, close to Barbican and Moorgate tube stations.
Designed by David Walker Architects,[4] the building was originally planned to be 140 m (460 ft) tall with 44 floors, but after criticism the height was scaled down to 112 m (367 ft) and 36 floors. Structural engineering on the project was completed by WSP Group.
The building's £89 million price tag was funded by Heron International and the City of London; contributing a combined £75.5 million towards the development; the remaining £13.5 million was financed by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
The building is part of a wider redevelopment of Milton Court, to include a new teaching and performance centre for the Guildhall School. In the centre of the Heron there is an eight-storey high atrium. The building includes: a 225-seat training theatre; a 625-seat concert hall; and 284 luxury apartments........Wikipedia >>
