Scheme at 2 Finsbury Avenue, drawn up by Danish architect 3XN, is third high-rise to get Square Mile’s OK in recent weeks

The City of London has approved its third tower in less than a month after planners gave the green light to a 38-storey scheme by Danish architect 3XN for British Land’s Broadgate development

The scheme at 2 Finsbury Avenue is 3XN’s first project in London and others working on the job include executive architect Adamson, the firm which worked on the Shard.

Work will involve knocking down two buildings at 2-3 Finsbury Avenue designed by British architect Peter Foggo for Arup in the 1980s. At one point Arup was tasked with designing a replacement for its own building, with a 32-storey tower that won planning in 2018 - before 3XN was brought in.
