About the event
Set to become one of the city’s most sustainable offices, EDGE London Bridge is both innovative in design and imaginative in its scope.
The project is located just across the road from London Bridge Station. The focus on ESG is reflected in many aspects of the project. One of the most visible outcomes of this will be a spacious park area located next to the building, adding a much-needed green space to the district. As well as providing amenity to the public, the park will bring biodiversity benefits too. This is also the thinking behind the large green terrace to be installed on the roof of the development, which provides areas for occupants to take time out from their work. They can also look forward to a gym, tenants’ club and a ground-floor coffee bar.
Those using the building will enjoy healthy, fresh air courtesy of underfloor ventilation, and with floor-to-ceiling windows natural light will flood in too – often cited as an important workplace factor for employees. The facades will balance areas of light and shade to avoid unwanted thermal gains and losses.
With an aim to be the most sustainable office tower in London, EDGE London Bridge is targeting BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum certification. Its energy consumption is due to exceed the operational intensity targets for new-build offices set out in the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge and is in fact targeting “Paris Proof” occupation for its tenants – aligning with 2050 goals from day one.
EDGE London Bridge is due to open for business in Q1 2026.
Activities
The complex building sequence features a top-down logistics slab at the ground floor along with a top-down slab on plunge columns at B1 to launch the core, which uses a full hydraulic jump system by Doka and will feature architect-designed ‘special’ finishes around the lift and stair core areas. Logistics have been carefully considered due to the site’s proximity to London Bridge Station.
The construction sequence has also involved significant temporary works designs with third party approvals for heavy duty systems. Bulk excavations and craneage are managed with a gantry system, allowing for the simultaneous construction of the basement and superstructure.
To allow for the landscaped public park, the first suspended floor slab will be constructed on the fourth level, 16m above ground. This elevated design uses distinctive radial and square, vertical and splayed concrete columns.
Designed as PT slabs by our in-house design team Kingscote Design, the superstructure floor plates are supported by RC in-situ columns and concrete-encased steel columns. Both are left as exposed concrete with an enhanced finish developed with the project’s architect.
