Broadgate tower celebrates topping out at level 37

Representing the final phase of the Broadgate campus redevelopment in the City of London, British Land’s 37-storey 2 Finsbury Avenue (2FA) project has officially topped out.

Designed by 3XN with Adamson Associates as executive architect, 2FA will be an all-electric building and aims to set a new benchmark for highly sustainable workspace in London by targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’, WELL Platinum, EPC A and NABERS 5-star certifications.

The steel-framed structure includes dual office towers, reaching heights of 170m and 100m respectively, both sat on a 12-storey podium.

Delivering a significant carbon saving, approximately 90% of the steel sections have been sourced from Electric Arc Furnace production facilities.

Creating more than 75,000m² of workspace, the project will be an iconic addition to London’s skyline, as the towers are adorned with triangular patterns combining a solid and glazed sawtooth-shaped façade.

Working on behalf of main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine, William Hare fabricated, supplied and erected 10,000t of structural steelwork for the project.
