Approval given for final building on King’s Cross masterplan

Plans for the final building on the King’s Cross masterplan have received approval by the London Borough of Camden, representing a significant step towards the completion of the vast estate.

Permission has been granted for Building F1, a seven-storey building comprising more than 16,450m² of commercial space, as well as flexible retail units and improved public realm.

Located on a prominent plot alongside the Regent’s Canal, F1 will be the 50th building to be delivered on the King’s Cross estate.

Designed by Lee Wilkinson Architecture, careful consideration has been given to the massing of the building, which will sit above Victorian railway tunnels.

Robert Evans, CEO of King’s Cross and Partner of Argent and Related Argent, said: “The unanimous approval of our plans for Building F1 marks an amazing milestone for King’s Cross.

“Over 17 years, eight million square feet of built development and 12 hectares of public realm have been approved. Securing permission for this final mixed-use building represents yet another vote of confidence in the estate, its success so far and its future ambitions.”
