British Land wins Ropemaker Place

One of the most sought-after sites in the City, Ropemaker Place, has gone to British Land after a bidding war. It has planning permission for a Gensler-designed 23 storey tower. The company is expected to complete development in 2009 to fit in between the completion dates of its two other big City office developments. The other two are the scheme at 201 Bishopsgate (currently on site) and the Broadgate Tower, and the Leadenhall Building. (via PW)
