A number of surrounding buildings were badly damaged. A new building on the site was constructed, numbered 58, which included a public house, the Magpie and Punch Bowl which had operated at that location since 1839.https://pubwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/StEthelburga/MagpiePunchBowl.shtml Magpie & Punch Bowl, 58 Bishopsgate Street Within, St Ethelburga, City of London EC2 OK Price 5 January 2016 7 July 2017 The site was again renumbered to 86 Bishopsgate, and included a new public house, City House.http://www.thegoodpubguide.co.uk/pub/view/City-House-EC2N-4AU City House The Good Pub Guide 7 July 2017 1 November 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141101085352/http://www.thegoodpubguide.co.uk/pub/view/City-House-EC2N-4AU dead Subsequently, the buildings between St Ethelburga's and Camomile Street were demolished to make way for 100 Bishopsgate. Planning and design A planning application was submitted by Great Portland Estates in September 2006 for the redevelopment of a site located at 61 St Mary Axe, 80-86 Bishopsgate, 88-90 Bishopsgate, 12-20 Camomile Street, 15-16 St Helen's Place and 33-35 St Mary Axe. The scheme proposed a mixed-used development comprising two buildings of forty and seven storeys respectively. The main tower (Building 1) would be formed of five podium floors, each of 44,000 ft2 m2 ha on, and 32 tower floors, each of 19,000 - 25,000 ft2 m2 ha on. The form of the lower part of the tower was designed to resolve the complex geometries of the site; thus the lower floors are shaped as parallelograms and the upper floors are shaped as rectangles. The secondary building (Building 2) would be formed of seven storeys of 8,000 ft2 m2 on each, providing restaurant and office space. A new public space of 0.5 acre m2 is situated in the middle of the site. The application was approved on 28 May 2008. In July 2011 the proposed height was increased by 7 m ft in 0 to 172 m ft 0. Construction thumb|upright=0.50|left|Progress as of February 2016 Demolition of the buildings and infrastructure formerly on the site commenced in May 2011 and was completed later that year. The demolition work was complicated by the existence of six power substations on the site which needed to be kept operational until they could be bypassed.http://www.keltbray.com/project/100-bishopsgate-demolition-and-enabling 100 Bishopsgate demolition and enabling Keltbray 2014-02-16 2014-02-23 https://web.archive.org/web/20140223191714/http://www.keltbray.com/project/100-bishopsgate-demolition-and-enabling dead In May 2015, it was reported that building company T Clarke had agreed a revised contract for 100 Bishopsgate, with on-site activities scheduled to start in April 2016.
