Green light for Shard

Sellar Property is likely to start construction of the Shard tower in London, SE1 later in 2008, after a finance package was agreed with Qatari-backed consortium - the Qatari Islamic Investment bank QInvest, Qatar National Bank and Qatari Islamic Bank. Sellar will remain the developer for completion of Shard of Glass tower and 55,740 sq m (600,000 sq ft) New London Bridge House in 2011. The schemes were designed by Renzo Piano. Cushman & Wakefield advised on planning, and Mace is project manager. - (01-02-2008)

Shard demolition plans

Teighmore, the consortium consisting of Sellar Property, CLS and Simon Halabi, is hoping to start demolition at the London Bridge Station (Shard of Glass) site in London, SE1, in mid October 2007. The demolition will take seven months. The main construction contract will not start until funding is in place but a Middle Eastern bank is said to be considering financing the £1bn scheme. Completion of the development is expected in 2010 or 2011. - (18-09-2007)

English Heritage "spikes" tower

English Heritage has likened the proposals by Renzo Piano for the 300m high Sellar "shard of glass" skyscraper at London Bridge to a "spike through the heart of the Tower of London". The opposition from English Heritage will prompt a public inquiry into the proposals, leading to the scheme being determined by the new Environment Secretary Stephen Byers. English Heritage at the same meeting supported proposals for two residential towers at Lots Road power station in Chelsea, undoubtably far enough away from any heritage sites, and regarded by English Heritage as "two high quality tall buildings which we think will enhance river views and the skyline of this part of London without damaging the historic environment." It may be sometime before we hear such comments from English Heritage about an office tower in the City of London. - (02-07-2001)

"Shard of glass" revealed

The designs for the £350m skyscraper at London Bridge station, SE1 have just been unveiled. The 66-storey tapering glass tower, designed by Renzo Piano and Broadway Malyan, for developer the Sellar Property Group, will, if built, be the tallest in Europe at 1,016 ft tall. The lower half of the tower is planned as a 27-storey 55,741 sq m (600,000 sq ft) office block, with the upper 15-storey as a hotel and apartment complex. A planning application for the "shard of glass", otherwise known as the London Bridge Tower, could be submitted to the London Borough of Southwark next week. The scheme has been reduced by about 14-storey following initial comments from CABE, the architectural advisory body. There seems little doubt that this scheme, along with Heron's Bishopsgate tower, will become the centre of debate, around which London local government and advisory bodies will finally have to establish an agreed policy towards tall buildings. - (20-03-2001)

Revised skyscraper design unveiled

A revised design for a 80-storey skyscraper at London Bridge station, by Italian architect Renzo Piano, is now being put forward by developer Irvine Sellar. The 390m (1,279 ft) tower will include 65,031 sq m (700,000 sq ft) of offices and 18,580 sq m (200,000 sq ft) of flats along with hotel and retail space. A planning application could be submitted to the London Borough of Southwark by the end of the year but is likely to be determined by the Greater London Authority. The skyscraper would not be completed before 2005 and construction costs are put at £300m. Bovis Lend Lease is the project manager. The scheme is unlikely to proceed without a major pre-let and the developer is said to be in discussion with firms including Pricewaterhouse Coopers. - (13-11-2000)
