British Land has submitted a planning application for the final piece of its Paddington campus, a 19-storey tower at 5 Kingdom Street, W2.
Designed by Allies and Morrison, the proposed building will provide 370,000 sq ft of new commercial space above Kingdom Street. There will also be 87,000 sq ft of community, retail, leisure and cultural facilities in the former Crossrail works site located below Kingdom Street, known as the Box.
British Land is also planning to create a 250-seat auditorium for cultural events within the Box, and expects connectivity between the campus and surrounding areas to be enhanced through the provision of new pedestrian and cycle routes.
