1 Moor Lane receives planning 20.05.25

City of London Corporation has approved the sustainability-led transformation of 1 Moor Lane into 300,000 square feet of new grade-A offices set in a revitalised public realm.

The AHMM designed redevelopment of the building formerly known as Milton Gate for developer Brookfield Properties will increase the amount of office space by around 50% and appeal to modern occupiers looking for large, efficient floorplates and out-standing ESG credentials. Extensive landscaped terraces will provide flexible outdoor amenity across all floors with impressive City views, while cycle storage, changing and wellness facilities support active commuting.

By taking a retrofit-first approach, the project will retain 70% of the original structure, significantly reducing its embodied carbon and environment impact. The all-electric building will be net zero in operation and is expected to achieve EPC A, BREEAM Outstanding and NABERS 5* certification upon completion.

Dan Scanlon, President of Brookfield Properties, UK commented “We appreciate the support and positive feedback from the City of London and neighbouring occupiers which have shaped our proposals at 1 Moor Lane. We expect the transformation of 1 Moor Lane to create a new destination office of wide appeal.”

Simon Allford, Founding Director of AHMM 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.”
