Plans to build a 48-floor office tower close to the Broadgate development by Chinese firm Giant Mind.

Architect SOM is working up designs ahead of submitting a planning application for the 41,000 sq m scheme.

Proposals include a terrace at mid-level on the 200m tall building.

New plans replace previous proposals approved by Hackney Borough Council in 2015 to build a 45-storey mixed hotel and office block.

Demolition of the existing seven-storey Bavaria House building could start by mid-2023, with construction of the proposed development beginning in early 2024.
