I'm quite a fan of 20FC (Its the real marmite of the current city proposals
) & im glad its got PP.
Its worth noting that although it seems like its a bit out on a limb now in the future I would predict there will be more tall buildings between this & the main cluster (Infact if you look at that new bishopsgate rendering posted yesterday its not far off the rest).
Jef - Do you know where it mentions they intend to spec develop this asap as looking at there development pipeline right up to 2010 this isn't on it whereas New change, Park house (oxford st), Dashwood house etc are all on it.
This will get built & hopefully soon. Looking at there present piepline for the city they just have New St Square which is half let & should be complete by the end of next yr or early 08, One New change which should start before the years out & 1 wood st which has a pre-let already, so theres not that much surplus office space, especially for a company the size of LandSecs.The good thing about it being scaled back is that there is less office space to fill or find tennants for & the sites already empty.
