52 LIME STREET
ARUP
52 Lime Street – nicknamed “The Scalpel” – is a striking new
addition to the City of London’s iconic skyline, due to its bold,
angular design. At 190m tall, the completed building includes
35 floors of office, retail and restaurant spaces, utilised by its
various financial group tenants and as the UK headquarters for
insurance group WR Berkley Corporation.
Standing out from the cluster of other prestigious high-rises
in the area, 52 Lime Street’s external appearance is sleek and
geometrical, owing to a series of intersecting reflective planes
that create its distinct identity and the diagonal fold running
from top to bottom.
