A ground floor retail outlet in the form of a café inspired by the original Lloyds Coffee House that birthed the insurance industry will bound onto the plaza providing al-fresco seating.
The proposal is just the latest tower for insurance companies in the area that is creating a financial industry cluster - Aon has taken the Leadenhall Building over the road, the Willis Group are next door in their tower, Lloyds of London stands a stones throw away, Aviva are on St Helen's and Swiss Reinsurance occupy the Gherkin.
If planning permission is awarded by the City of London, construction is expected to begin in 2013, with the development completed in 2017
