40 Leadenhall Street, also known as Stanza London is an office-led development in London, England. It is located within the City of London financial district and is one of a number of new building developments for the area.
Site ownership and location
[edit ]The development site, known as the Leadenhall Triangle, was purchased by Henderson Global Investors in June 2011 for around 190ドル million.[4]
It is situated in the Aldgate ward in the eastern portion of the City of London, and is a short distance from the Leadenhall Building and the Lloyd's building.
History
[edit ]Planning
[edit ]In October 2013, Vanquish Properties (UK) Limited Partnership applied for planning permission to construct a building comprising 10, 14 and 34 storeys to a maximum height of 170 m (560 ft) (AOD) on a site bounded by 19–21 and 22 Billiter Street, 49 Leadenhall Street, 108 and 109–114 Fenchurch Street, and 6–8 and 9–13 Fenchurch Buildings.[5] The listed building at 19–21 Billiter Street was retained whilst all other existing properties on the site were demolished.[6]
Planning permission was granted by the City of London Corporation on 29 May 2014, following a resolution to grant permission by the Planning and Transportation Committee on 25 February 2014, subject to certain planning obligations being met.[7] [8]
Construction
[edit ]Following Brexit, the developer announced that construction would only go ahead when a sufficient amount of office space had been pre-let.[9]
In October 2019, it was announced that M&G and Prudential had bought the site and would fund its construction for 875ドル m, with a final development value of 1ドル.4 bn. The build started in 2020[10] after Keltbray completed clearing the Leadenhall Triangle site. This was undertaken despite there being no pre-let. The building was completed in 2024.[11]
Design
[edit ]The building varies in height by being laid in a series of vertical slices ranging from 7 to 34 storeys at the Leadenhall Street end.[3]
Tenants
[edit ]US law firm Kirkland & Ellis is a major occupier.[12]
