11 new skyscrapers will line the sky of London by 2030
11 new skyscrapers are expected to be built by 2030, despite the shift to remote work.
The demand for offices in London is increasing significantly,
and the number of project proposals has increased by 25% compared to the previous year.
During the past twelve months.
Last September, 1,023 cases were filed, compared to 820 in 2022.
The number of employees rose from 29,000 in 2021-22 to 615,000,
according to the Office for National Statistics.
Between those that are already under construction and those that have been approved,
The popular Square Mile will total about 1 million new square feet of work space.
If the region is famous for being the financial heart of the city and the country,
today the technology sector is entering the scene.
For example, Apple has leased several spaces at 22 Bishopsgate and TikTok,
Having set up its headquarters in the PLP Architecture-designed Kaleidscope near Smithfield Market,
They are also creating more and more space in Farringdon,
and in fact it is the technology sector, along with the tertiary sector,
that has recorded the greatest growth, more so than the financial sector.
Chairman of the City of London Government’s Planning and Transport Committee, Shravan Joshi, said:
“If you look at the big macroeconomic picture it doesn’t look particularly rosy,
does it? In the city we have a very large young working population.”
“More than 50% of our employees are under thirty years old,
and these people want to be mentored, they want to come back to their offices,
and they are doing career transitions, internships.”

Many financial and technology companies are reportedly insisting on bringing their employees back to headquarters for the majority of the work week,
Despite the phenomenon of large resignations, in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
