Foggo Associates distinctive 18-storey skyscraper would be built in St Mary Axe
Plans have been unveiled for a new London skyscraper, already given the dubious nickname of the `can of ham`.
The 295ft glass and steel tower, designed by architect Foggo Associates, would be built in St Mary Axe, next door to the Gherkin.
The developer, Targetfollow, said the 18-storey tower would “add a huge amount to the skyscape.”
Planning consultant is DP9.
