With a decline in available finances and prospective tenants, there are questions continuously arising about London's future skyline.
According to a BBC Inside Out study, at least 6 developments in London have been put on hold or cancelled because of a lack of advance trenants and financial strain. Developments on hold include: 100 Bishopsgate Skyscraper, Can of Ham and The Pinnacle. Developers began work on The Pinnacle in 2009, at 288m it would have been stopped completely.
Currently being developed in Fitzrovia is Fitzroy Place, hosting a 3 acre site. There will be 237 private apartments, 20,000sq ft of retail/restaurant space, 310,00sq ft of commercial office space and community facilities including health, education and public open space. Unfortunately the new development does not reflect the sites rich history.
