On the evening of the 06 March The Arc on 225 City Road officially opened.
Located on the prominent corner of City Road and Shepherdess Walk, The Arc is a new mixed-use building providing 145,000 square feet of flexible office floor space on levels one to six, with 100 new homes above, retail at ground level and extensive public realm.
The building form is broken into two distinct volumes which respond to the wider context including the adjacent conservation areas. The podium sensitively links into the urban massing of the adjacent streets whilst the stepped tower provides a clear marker on City Road. The transition from podium to tower at level seven is celebrated with a shared roof terrace and provides residents with areas to play, work, and relax.
A combination of active and passive measures delivers a highly flexible and sustainable building, achieving BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and the first German sustainability certified building in the UK under DGNB.
Constructed by Ghelamco, a European family run development company, work started in the 2020 lockdown. The wider team includes Whitby Wood, DSA Engineering, Grant Associates, Bower James Brindley, Claridge Architects, Massive Design (Poland), and DP9.
