Project context
Momentum provided early feasibility, design and planning application support to Stanhope PLC for the refurbishment and expansion of the existing building at Seventy Gracechurch Street, which is a large and mixed-use tower scheme within the City of London’s Eastern Cluster. The scheme was resolved to grant consent in February 2025.
Our work
We worked closely with KPF, the architects, to develop a world-class, sustainable development. We prepared transport planning documentation for the planning application, submitted in July 2024. Other key workstreams included refining the highways boundaries through stopping up and dedication of land, and developing a complex construction logistics strategy.
Client outcomes
The project creates enhanced north-south pedestrian connectivity improving access to Leadenhall Market and provides a forward-thinking dual-use public realm and servicing area. We successfully achieved cycle parking compliance within a constrained existing basement and collaborated with the CoL and TfL to negotiate a proportionate highway improvements package complementing the scheme.
