Bid to protect post-modern landmark comes after developer unveils Gensler-led transformation plans

Campaign group the Twentieth Century Society has launched a bid to secure listed status for a Terry Farrell & Company-designed post-modern office development in the City of London.

The bid follows Arax Properties’ airing of Gensler-designed proposals to “transform” Alban Gate with brighter colours, new balconies and improved access

The structure, which was completed in 1992, is at 125 London Wall – south of the Barbican Estate. Part of the development is built on the site of 1960s office building Lee House; its most prominent section is built directly above the intersection of London Wall and Wood Street.
