Positive reinforcement

Article Abstract:

The site at 88 Wood Street, London, England, underwent a complete redesign in 1995, in order to make a space of 250,000 sq ft. The site was owned by Daiwa Corp who employed the Richard Rogers Partnership to carry out the design work. The new building is on three levels, with 18 storeys at the back, 14 in the middle and 10 storeys in the front. The cost to shell and core the building was 150 pounds sterling per sq ft. The building will be rented out by Daiwa which no longer needs the site after its new links with Sumitomo. Rents are expected to be over 50 pounds sterling per sq ft.
