Overview & history

Freed Developments built it to designs by CORE Architects, with ERA Architects conserving the neighbouring Silver Plate building. The floor plates cantilever and overlay each other above a glazed podium set against the old brick.

Red curtains lined in white refer to the garment trade, and a fashion designer's installation occupies the elevator lobby on each floor. Ceilings are nine and ten feet over exposed concrete, and sizes run from about 389 to 2,118 square feet.
