JP Morgan just dropped plans for a massive office tower in Canary Wharf that will cost around three billion pounds and fit 12,000 workers when it finishes construction. The building gets designed by Foster and Partners, and it becomes the biggest office space in Britain when completed. Chancellor Rachel Reeves called the project a major confidence boost for the economy after her budget this week avoided hitting banks with extra taxes.

The American banking giant already locked down a 999-year lease on the construction site back when the financial crisis hit, and the tower takes about six years to build once approvals come through. An economic study says the development could pump nearly ten billion pounds into the UK economy while creating thousands of jobs across construction and related industries. Other big finance companies like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup are also investing heavily in UK office space right as hybrid work trends keep reshaping commercial real estate markets.
