HKR-designed 12-storey office building features six roof terraces and a green roof
Skanska has completed construction of London office development Moorgate Exchange for clients BlackRock, CarVal Investors and Quadrant Estates.
The 12-storey, 20,204 sq m building is located next to Moorgate Station and features six landscaped roof terraces and a green roof.

The project team included HKR Architects, client monitoring architects Pringle Brandon Perkins+Will, building services engineer, energy and sustainability consultant Hilson Moran , structural engineer Ramboll, project manager GVA Second London Wall, quantity surveyor Gardiner and Theobald and landscape architect Hyland Edgar Driver.
Skanska managing director, Paul Heather, said: 鈥淏y using technologies such as LED lighting, low-energy fan coil units and highly efficient chillers and boilers to create this building, we have ensured that tenants will enjoy low energy consumption and reduced running costs.
鈥淭he development is a notable addition to our portfolio of high-quality offices in the City, which includes 30 St Mary Axe (the Gherkin), Heron Tower and 6 Bevis Marks, as well as buildings soon to be completed, such as Aldermanbury Square and 100 Cheapside.鈥�
