ONE Bishopsgate Plaza will be the first high-rise residential and hospitality development built in the City of London in many years. Currently under construction, the mixed-use development includes private residences and Europe’s first Pan Pacific Hotel along with select retail spaces in a flagship 43-storey tower. The project has a number of goals, including the regeneration of part of the local Conservation Area and the creation of a large new public plaza along busy Bishopsgate.
The tower is designed to demonstrate the very high quality and ambitions of the overall development. Its form steps back as it rises, providing terraces and other amenity spaces for residents and guests. An intricately-detailed façade with bronze louvres in varying configurations will provide aesthetic sophistication and contrast to the adjacent Heron Tower’s more solid form.
The luxurious Pan Pacific London will provide a facility unmatched in scale and quality by any existing hotels in the area. The provision of top-quality meeting and events space, including a double-height ballroom, together with the other public functions of the hotel will support the City’s function as a centre for international business. The Pacific Ballroom will also be the Square Mile’s first dedicated ballroom, hosting banquets for up to 370 guests.
Animated by retail, cafés, water features and planting, the new plaza will become the heart of a new urban quarter that the project creates. It will support a lively public realm, providing legibility and connecting Liverpool Street Station to the pedestrian routes, quieter ambience and smaller scale of the neighbourhoods beyond.
