Innovative scheme delivers future-facing workplace

Planning permission has been granted for a best-in-class, nine-storey office building in Shoreditch to deliver 150,000 square feet of high-quality workspace.  The East London mixed-use scheme for developer Blue Coast Capital is designed with flexibility in mind, to allow the building to evolve and adapt as working patterns in the city change over time. 

Motion helped secure approval for The Huntingdon Estate with transport planning expertise and a Demolition Logistics Plan.  An upgraded signalised pedestrian crossing will link the site to Shoreditch railway station.  Motion Director, John Russell, explains, “We worked closely with Tower Hamlets and TFL to ensure that the crossing design facilitated safe pedestrian movement and fully integrated with the Bishopsgate Goodsyard redevelopment project.” 

Sustainability impact:

• Improved connections with Shoreditch railway station
• Development of a Grade A, BREEAM “Outstanding”, EPC A building
