It has the deepest foundations in London, which reach down 57 metres and are specifically designed to withstand further tunneling below it in the future. The building also has 14 lifts, and its design allows the potential to add three shuttle lifts running between the first and fourth floors.

It is built on the former site of a 67-metre 18-floor office building that stood from 1961 to 2001.
