In November 2016, the City of London Corporation granted planning permission for the latest skyscraper development, which will be western Europe's second tallest building.

1 Undershaft, or the 'Trellis Tower' as it has been nicknamed, has been designed by Eric Parry Architects and will be located in the heart of the City of London.

At 73-storeys and a total height of 304.94 m, the tower will overlook its neighbours, the Cheesegrater and The Gherkin, but is just a little bit shorter than the Shard, currently the tallest building in western Europe. However, the tower will be able to lay claim to the highest occupiable floor.

Approximately 90,000 sq. m of office space will be provided by the structure, playing host to 10,000 workers. Maximal floor space having been achieved with the offset design of the core and the rigidity provided by the 'exoskeleton' bracing.

A free public viewing gallery will be included at the top of the building, which will also contain the city's highest restaurant. There are also ongoing talks with the Museum of London about the possibility of including a dedicated exhibition space.

At the base of the tower, a new public square will be created, with the public able to walk beneath the skyscraper due to the office reception lobby being elevated.

The project is being developed by the Singaporean firm Aroland Holdings. The existing Aviva Tower is to be demolished before construction work on the new structure can begin, with an estimated completion date of the 2020s.
