British Land and Oxford Properties are both in Cannes this week as the building, the tallest skyscraper in the City of London, approaches practical completion this summer.
The Leadenhall Building, which is located opposite Lloyd's of London in the heart of the City of London, will comprise 57,000 m2 of office space over 46 floors.
The building was designed by Graham Stirk, partner at architecture practice Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. Its distinctive tapered profile has been designed to protect the sight line of St Paul's Cathedral.
The building incorporates 18,000 tonnes of steel and 70,000 m2 of cladding. Unusually for a tall building, The Leadenhall Building has no central core, with an external mega frame providing the lateral stability and the 26 passenger lifts housed in the building's Northern Core, painted bright yellow, at the rear of the building.
The building has been under construction since September 2011.
