The City of London Corporation has revealed a new City Skyline CGI, which offers a glimpse of what the Square Mile’s tall buildings cluster will look like in six years.
Created by Didier Madoc-Jones of GMJ, the computer-generated images show what the City of London’s financial district will look like from above, once all of the buildings that have either been granted planning permission, or are already under construction, are completed.
The CGI provides a new perspective on the City from the east and reflects a record year of planning approvals in 2025.

More than half a million square metres of office space was granted planning permission in the City last year, equivalent to more than 10 Gherkin buildings. Around half of this amount is already under construction.
For 2026, there has been an 84% increase in planning applications decided by the City of London Corporation in January, compared with the same month last year.
Chris Hayward, policy chairman of the City of London Corporation, said: “Record demand for high‑quality, amenity‑rich office space is reinforcing the City’s position as one of the world’s most resilient and attractive business districts, with vacancy in the City core continuing to fall, prime supply remaining exceptionally tight, and leasing activity reaching its strongest annual performance since 2019.
“As global capital becomes increasingly selective, the City of London is a place able to deliver complex schemes at scale while adapting to changing patterns of work and occupier expectations.”
The CM March 2026 issue of Construction Management magazine is now available to read in digital format.
