CityPoint
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CityPoint (previously known as Britannic House) is a skyscraper on Ropemaker Street on the northern fringe of the City of London.
It was built in 1967 as a 35-storey, 122 m tall headquarters for British Petroleum (now BP). It was refurbished in 2000 which increased the height to 127 metres and increased the available floor space. It was renamed CityPoint after its refurbishment. Its anchor tenant is Simmons & Simmons, a law firm.
It is currently the third tallest building in the City, after Tower 42 and 30 St Mary Axe, but only the 12th tallest in Greater London.
In August 2005, the building was put on the market by its owner, Pillar Properties, for more than £500m - one of the largest deals ever seen in the City office market.
In February 2007, the building was again put on the market, this time for £650m.
