Property company British Land has announced its plans to transform the Euston Tower in London, UK, into a life sciences and innovation hub.
The property is being redeveloped using a mix of retention, reuse, and an ultra-low carbon structure.
The plans seek to convert the building into a net-zero world-class workspace for businesses of all sizes.
Its vision is being discussed with Camden Council and other local stakeholders to pioneer low-carbon retrofitting and construction techniques at the site.
Danish architect 3XN, which collaborated with British Land on Broadgate’s landmark 2FA development, will be the project’s design lead.
Architecture and landscape studio DSDHA meanwhile, is supporting 3XN in its design work.

By GlobalDataThe team has developed designs that will incorporate certain aspects of the original tower such as the foundations, basement, and core.
The proposed enhancements to the public realm will feature expansive green areas and a dedicated event space.
British Land is currently investigating the possibilities for locally certified carbon offsets. This entails offsetting the embodied carbon linked to materials in the current building that cannot be reused by financing equivalent local carbon avoidance measures.
The height of the building will remain unchanged at its current 100m.
These improvements will address the evolving requirements of the Knowledge Quarter in the city.
British Land development head David Lockyer said: “We’re committed to a comprehensive and transparent approach to sustainability, working closely with the London Borough of Camden and other key stakeholders to reimagine this office tower.”
