UK REIT Hammerson has received planning consent for its London Wall Place office development. The 46,000-m2 scheme, designed by MAKE architects, will require the demolition of the St Alphage House tower and podium in London to make way for two landmark office buildings.

Hammerson said that 121 London Wall Place, a 27,870-m2 office building adjacent to Moor House, will offer large floor plates providing flexibility to occupiers, and extensive landscaped multi-level roof gardens. The second element of the scheme, 123 London Wall Place, will provide 18,116-m2 of office space in a 16-storey tower, the same height as neighbouring 5 Aldermanbury Square.
