Shoreditch Tower Given Planning Permission

11 October 2024

A new office tower, One Fairchild Street, has been given the go ahead by Hackney Council.

The site, on 201-207 Shoreditch High Street, will feature around 32,000m² of office space and close to 1,240 sqm of public realm space. It’s located on the land bounded by Holywell Lane, Shoreditch High Street and Fairchild Street, within the South Shoreditch Conservation Area.

Initial plans for the site, which were put forward in 2016, proposed the provision of a 200-bedroom hotel, 9,000m² of offices, leisure facilities and a sky lounge. The new plans, from owner and developer Rocket Properties, incorporate a parcel of leftover land owned by Transport for London.

The sustainable development will target BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Platinum and an Urban Greening Factor of 0.30.
