Jewel-like' skyscraper to be built in Square Mile
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A jewel-like skyscraper has been approved for construction in the Square Mile - becoming the latest megastructure to be built in the area. The City of London Corporation approved the demolition of a vacant office block at 130 Fenchurch Street, known as Fountain House, and the subsequent construction of two new towers, one with 31 storeys and the other 34. The new glass and steel building, due to be completed in 2030, will include an external garden terrace on the 17th floor, a public rooftop gallery on the 20th floor, and new food and drink spots. It will also include 58,000 sq m of office space. It will neighbour the Walkie Talkie, Scalpel and Leadenhall Cheese Grater skyscrapers."
The Independent requests donations to continue sending journalists to report on issues including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech without paywalls. The outlet emphasizes cross-spectrum trust and investigative work, citing projects such as probing Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing a documentary called 'The A Word' that spotlights American women fighting for reproductive rights. Separately, the City of London Corporation approved demolishing Fountain House at 130 Fenchurch Street and constructing two towers of 31 and 34 storeys. The new glass-and-steel development, due in 2030, will feature terraces, a public rooftop gallery, food and drink venues and 58,000 sq m of office space.
