This is probably one of the most
0:02
engineering marvels that we have in the
0:04
square mile probably in the capital at
0:06
the moment. The engineering required to
0:08
to take a essentially a medieval
0:10
structure and prop it up while an
0:11
enormous skyscraper can be excavated and
0:13
then concrete poured around it. No one I
0:16
know working on this has seen it done
0:17
before. So huge respect to the like
0:20
massive teams of engineers that have
0:22
been working on this incredible project.
0:24
So, what we've got here is a 700year-old
0:27
church essentially propped up on four
0:30
steel beams. Nobody loves the heritage
0:32
of the square mile more than the city of
0:34
London Corporation. We have dozens of
0:37
amazing churches. We've got 48 ancient
0:40
schedule monuments. We've got 200 listed
0:42
buildings. If you dig a hole, you find
0:46
So, just to help me visualize a bit how
0:48
this is going to look when it's done,
0:50
where's the building going to come to?
0:52
And what's the bit around the church
0:56
So it will be a 38 story tower which for
0:58
this part of town is big but not the
1:01
So have you found recently that there
1:03
has been extra demand for office space?
1:06
Is that something you're hearing from
1:07
businesses that maybe people are coming
1:10
back out from work from home setups into
1:12
the into the city and are feeling like
1:15
Yeah, the death of the office has been
1:16
completely exaggerated. The reality is
1:19
for the highquality office space there
1:21
they are pretty much full. We've
1:22
approved about half a million square
1:24
meters in the last 12 months of graded
1:26
office space. There will be more to come
1:27
in the pipeline, but it's
