Editorial headquarters of The Economist Newspaper.
The Economist Plaza is a three-building, 81,500-square-foot mixed-use campus located within the core of the St. James’s submarket in London’s famed West End. The property was commissioned as the headquarters for The Economist and stands today as an iconic example of 1960s modernist architecture.
Designed by internationally-renowned architects Alison and Peter Smithsons and completed in 1964, The Economist Plaza comprises a 14-story, 56,700-square-foot office tower, a seven-story, 3,800-square-foot residential building and almost 8,000 square feet of retail, gallery and restaurant space. Renovated in 1988 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the minimal structural design of the buildings evokes a high modernist aesthetic, providing excellent natural light due to their center core construction. As the tallest office building in St. James’s, The Economist Plaza tower provides far-reaching views across central London, as well as a double-height lobby, bicycle storage with shower facilities and below-grade parking.
