Finsbury Avenue, Broadgate, City of London. A view looking down from the top floor of the central atrium of the office building at 1 Finsbury Avenue.
The Finsbury Avenue complex was a three phase speculative office development by Rosehaugh Greycoat Estates in anticipation of the deregulation of the financial markets in 1986. It aimed to entice potential tenants in the financial services industry to a fringe area on the edge of the City through high quality design and construction. Designed by Peter Foggo of Arup Associates, Laing secured the management contract for the construction of each phase in turn.
Work on phase one, 1 Finsbury Avenue began in December 1982 and was completed by September 1984 followed by phase two, 3 Finsbury Avenue, from October 1985 to December 1986 with work beginning on phase three, 2 Finsbury Avenue in January 1987 and complete by April 1988.
The design for each of the three buildings followed a " shell and core" approach incorporating flexibility in the internal construction and allowing simple reconfiguration of space according to tenants needs. Laing undertook several contracts to refit office space in each of the buildings in subsequent years

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view from the top floor of the central atrium at 1 Finsbury Avenue in Broadgate, City of London. The Finsbury Avenue complex was a visionary three-phase office development by Rosehaugh Greycoat Estates, strategically planned ahead of the financial market deregulation in 1986. With an aim to attract potential tenants from the financial services industry, this architectural masterpiece boasted high-quality design and construction. Designed by Peter Foggo of Arup Associates, each phase was expertly managed by Laing Construction. Phase one commenced in December 1982 and reached completion in September 1984, followed by phase two from October 1985 to December 1986. Finally, phase three began its construction journey in January 1987 and concluded with perfection by April 1988. The innovative "shell and core" approach adopted for each building allowed for flexibility within internal construction, enabling easy reconfiguration according to tenants' needs. Over time, Laing undertook various contracts to refit office spaces within these buildings. This remarkable image not only showcases the grandeur of this architectural marvel but also serves as a testament to foresight and ingenuity that transformed a fringe area on the outskirts of the City into an alluring hub for financial institutions. A true gem captured through Historic England Archive's lens!
