“We have focused on features which weave in innovation, collaborative areas, and sustainability to ensure we all benefit from a space that facilitates teamwork and a more enjoyable ‘at work’ experience.”
Matthew Elliott and Stephen Lucas, Firm Committee Members
Sustainability was a key focus during the initial construction of the building: 100% of the timber procured for the project is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certified, sourced from sustainably managed forests to avoid deforestation. 100% of our construction waste is diverted from landfill, with the majority becoming Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), which can then be converted into energy. Kirkland will be the anchor tenant in this impressive building, occupying almost 400,000ft 2 over floors 15 to 34 on the north side of the building. At approximately 817 feet tall, 40 Leadenhall is one of London’s tallest buildings and the third-largest office building in the City of London, offering panoramic views of the cityscape. Built over an entire city block, with entrances at Leadenhall Street and Fenchurch Street, it also incorporates the Grade II-listed building at 19-21 Billiter Street, built in 1865, which has been carefully restored as part of the project. Sustainability The 40 Leadenhall building is redefining sustainability standards, setting new benchmarks for environmental awareness and efficiency. It is targeting numerous accreditations and sustainability benchmarks, notably BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and NABERS 5 Star (both widely recognized ratings systems used to access the environmental sustainability and performance of buildings).
The building project incorporates energy-efficient systems, renewable energy sources and sustainable materials to minimise its environmental footprint. The building’s facade reflects the latest advancements in architectural technology and environmental performance. The building’s design prioritises occupant comfort, indoor air quality, and access to natural light and green spaces. Advanced energy-efficient technologies will be employed throughout the building, from smart lighting systems to ventilation sensors, ensuring optimal energy performance year-round. Water-saving fixtures and the use of recycled water will minimise water consumption, and a comprehensive waste management plan promotes recycling and composting.

The Correx used on site (sheeting that protects windows, lift lobby walls and the floors during construction) is made from 100% recycled plastic. At the end of the project, it will be recycled into new protection sheets, saving roughly 30 tonnes of CO2e (embodied carbon). Most of the site office furniture (lockers, canteen, office equipment etc.) has been reused from a previous project at Battersea Power Station, saving 80 tonnes of CO2e.
