The City of London is set to give the green light to a controversial 48-storey office tower planned for a site beside the Gherkin designed by Stiff & Trevillion.
The skinny 197m tower could also be neighboured by the Tulip, designed by Foster & Partners, if an appeal for that 305m tower succeeds. A decision on this is expected in the summer.
The Stiff & Trevillion scheme would replace Bury House, a seven-storey 1970s stone and glass office building at 31 Bury Street if councillors follow their planning officer’s recommendation and approve the scheme tomorrow.
The client is Bentall Green Oak and Thornton Tomasetti is structural engineer, with Arup on facades. Mace is construction consultant, RLB is QS with Hoare Lee, Sweco and Bowles Wyer also on the project team.

The proposal is for a stepped building containing 25,460sq m of offices above a ground level of retail and a community space, plus a semi-public arcade through the building and some landscaped open space. The applicant said smaller floorplates were an unmet demand in this part of the Square Mile.

A few weeks ago, in this space, I made my peace with the long-brewing trend of packaging craft beers in cans. But there is a parallel trend that I cannot abide: putting what are presented as craft cocktails in cans.
I tried a number of the new pop-top drinks to spare you, dear reader, the ordeal. I drank a “Ready to Party” canned margarita from Mexico’s Reyes Y Cobardes, a corpse reviver No. 10 from Maryland’s Tenth Ward Distilling Company, and a “Tiki rum mai tai” from San Diego’s Cutwater Spirits. They were all so awful that I quit right there. The corpse reviver, for instance, was corn-syrup sweet with a viscous mouthfeel to match. The mai tai was simply an abomination (Will someone please tell the Cutwater crowd that there is neither pineapple nor coconut in a mai tai?).

A senior living nonprofit is in the process of making several internal leadership changes.
Grand Rapids-based Holland Home said Wednesday that it made several promotions among its executive leadership team as part of a succession plan aimed at providing continuity of leadership in all divisions of the organization.
Mina Breuker continues as the organization’s president and CEO.
Troy Vugteveen
Troy Vugteveen, formerly executive vice president of operations, was promoted to COO, effective in January.
“Troy has been with the organization for nearly seven years, and he is well respected by his peers, our employees and those we serve,” Breuker said. “Most importantly, he exudes the mission, so I can’t think of a better person to step into this role.”
