Brookfield Properties has secured planning permission for a 300,000 sq ft office scheme at 1 Moor Lane in the City of London.

Architect Allford Hall Monaghan Morris designed the redevelopment of the building formerly known as Milton Gate where a retrofit-first approach will retain 70% of the original structure.

Dan Scanlon, President of Brookfield Properties, UK, said: “We appreciate the support and positive feedback from the City of London and neighbouring occupiers which have shaped our proposals for 1 Moor Lane, and thank the team for their efforts in reaching this important milestone.

“Brookfield Properties has a proud track record of reimagining real estate – delivering destinations in the City of London which have created vibrant new public spaces for the local community alongside modern, sustainable and highly appealing workspace for global occupiers.

“We expect the transformation of 1 Moor Lane to similarly create a new destination office of wide appeal.”

Simon Allford, Founding Director of Allford Hall Monaghan Morris added: “1 Moor Lane is the result of Brookfield Properties and AHMM’s shared ambition to create an innovative, low carbon reinvention of an existing building.

“The activated ground floor engages with the historic streetscape, whilst the generous office volumes above open onto, cascading balconies and verdant terraces, delivering a new green edge to the city’s historic skyline.”
