Development

The profile is said to resemble a can of ham.

The architectural design was created by Foggo Associates for Targetfollow, and planning permission was granted in 2008.[2] Targetfollow sold the site to Nuveen in 2011 for £20m[2] but development was delayed during the global financial crisis.[6][1]

The sole tenant of 60 St Mary Axe agreed in 2014 to exit their lease early, and in 2015 Mace Group Ltd was appointed to build the project.[2] Construction began that same year, and involved 400 workers, 90% of whom were employed through subcontractors.[7]

During development, the project was criticised by some for its shape and its size.[8][9]

Construction completed in Spring 2019, but the building did not open until later in the year.[10]

The building was used as the location for the interview stage in the 2019 and 2022 series of The Apprentice.[11][12]
