Heron Tower

Commercial and Office Buildings

Heron Tower, formally known as 110 Bishopsgate, is a commercial skyscraper in the City of London designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox with Arup as structural engineer, built between 2007 and its completion in January 2011. It rises 230 meters including its mast, with a roof height of 202 meters, making it the second-tallest building in the City of London and the fifth-tallest in Greater London. Its ground-floor lobby holds a 70,000-liter aquarium, and its upper floors house restaurants including Sushi Samba and Duck and Waffle; the building earned a BREEAM excellent environmental rating and, after slow initial leasing, became fully let by January 2016. It is sometimes referred to informally by the name of a later major tenant, though that name properly belongs to a separate, unrelated skyscraper in San Francisco.

Has Building Type

Entity-backed identity for the building-type enum value this building already carries, resolved to an architecture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The building-type fact itself stays on the building unchanged.
