21 Moorfields celebrates “topping out”
21 Moorfields, a major project situated directly above Moorgate Underground Station in London, has topped out.
The ‘topping out’ ceremony represents a significant milestone for 21 Moorfields, London.
Once completed, the 17-storey high building will become the new 560,000 square foot headquarters for Deutsche Bank. It sits atop a complicated series of piles and steel trusses spanning Moorgate station and a new Crossrail ticket hall.
In keeping with the tradition, bagpipe music marked the start of the “topping out” ceremony, which was held on the 13th floor of the building, before an evergreen bough was secured to the scaffolding by a Sir Robert McAlpine representative.
A host of guests, including representatives from Landsec attended the ceremony. They acknowledged the outstanding collaboration which has enabled the construction of such a complex building whilst dealing with the additional challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
David Heaford, Managing Director for Development at Landsec said:
“Since acquiring 21 Moorfields in 2012, we have been committed to delivering a new, high quality, office-led development on one of the most complex sites in London. Whilst the past 18 months have been challenging, the project has continued to make great progress thanks to our incredible team of partners.
We’re delighted to have reached this milestone, bringing 6,000 of Deutsche Bank’s employees one step closer to being able to innovate, create and socialise under one roof.
Once complete, 21 Moorfields will be knitted into the fabric of the city and is part of our wider strategic priority to bring forward significant investment in the capital. Creating more jobs and more economic growth to help the capital recover from the impact of the pandemic.”
21 Moorfields is expected to be completed in autumn 2022.
