Bloomberg unveils new European headquarters in London
FINANCIAL news and software giant Bloomberg has unveiled its brand new European headquarters in London.
The new offices, just off Cannon Street in the City of London, claim to be the world’s most sustainable office design.
It is the first wholly owned and designed Bloomberg building anywhere in the world and brings the companies 4,000 employees in London under the same roof for the first time.
Designed by Lord Foster, the development is divided in two by the Bloomberg Arcade which runs through it – a new public space with restaurants handpicked for international cuisine.
The launch of the new offices was attended yesterday by founder, Mike Bloomberg and the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.
Michael R. Bloomberg, founder, Bloomberg L.P. said: “Our new building aims to empower our employees so that we can better serve our customers, while complementing and adding new life to this historic neighborhood. Lord Foster’s spectacular design brings people together in ways that will promote collaboration and communication, and it forges new frontiers in sustainability that we hope will serve as a model for other companies. We have a great future here in London, and this is a big investment in the city.”
The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, said: “This fantastic new building is a huge vote of confidence in London as a destination for global business. It is also a shining example of what can be achieved by combining fantastic British architecture and the latest green technology to reduce our impact on the environment.”
