Our Vision

Sustainability

The Leadenhall Building is designed and built to a sustainable approach that is essential to delivering high quality buildings.

Key to the building’s sustainability is its triple-layer glass ‘skin’. The outer layer of glass is separated from an inner layer of double-glazing by a cavity containing blinds that respond to the sun’s movement, keeping the office space comfortably cool throughout the working day.

The Leadenhall Building is designed and built to the guiding principle of its original owners -British Land and Oxford Properties – that a sustainable approach is essential to create high-quality buildings. Each design and engineering element is chosen to use energy and resources efficiently.

At the heart of the building’s sustainability is its triple-layer glass ‘skin’. The outer layer of glass is separated from an inner layer of double-glazing by a cavity containing blinds that respond to the sun’s movement, keeping the office space comfortably cool throughout the working day.

Vents in the external glazing at every seventh storey, allows air to flow freely around the cavity, minimising the need for artificial cooling – typically the highest single source of energy use in an office building.

80% of The Leadenhall Building

has been constructed off site, using laing O’Rourke’s Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) method
Great time and detail has been taken to ensure the design of the building complements the surrounding architecture, particularly with regard to London’s viewing corridors. Seen from the west looking towards St Paul’s Cathedral, The Leadenhall Building will appear to ‘lean away’ from the historic landmark.

Under the ownership of CC Land, we are committed to managing buildings sustainably. This not only makes economic sense but is beneficial for the environment and provides an opportunity to positively impact people and communities. Sustainability Standards have been developed to The Leadenhall Building continue to provide best in class sustainability services.

To determine the exposure of our assets to transition and social risks and opportunities, as part of the BREEAM In-Use Certification, the Savills Sustainability Team was appointed to help assess the risks that apply or may apply to The Leadenhall Building.
