FOA wins green light for huge City of London scheme

Foreign Office Architects (FOA) has won the go-ahead from planners for its mixed-use Trinity.EC3 scheme in the heart of the City of London.

The huddle of three crystal-like buildings, ranging in height from 12 to 22 storeys, is for developer Beetham.

The mixed-use scheme – which is scheduled for completion in 2014 – will also feature a public roof garden, an all-weather public plaza and a new community centre for the City of London's Mansell Street Estate.

 

 

The building – which FOA said will cost 'between £250 and £300 million' – will also entail the redevelopment and relocation of Aldgate bus station to the south of the site to allow for a new entrance to Aldgate Underground Station.
